Instructions

Prepare the Cake Base:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened dairy-free butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the almond butter and continue to mix until well combined.
  • Mix in the dairy-free yogurt, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.

Prepare the Gooey Almond Cream:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond butter, granulated sugar, coconut milk, and almond extract until smooth.
  • Pour the gooey almond cream over the cake batter in the pan, spreading it evenly.

Bake the Cake:

  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.

Serve:

  • Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar and garnish with flaked almonds.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Almond Butter: Ensure the almond butter is smooth and well-mixed for the best texture in both the cake and the cream.
  • Coconut Milk: Full-fat coconut milk provides a rich and creamy texture for the almond cream.
  • Serving: This cake is best enjoyed warm for the ultimate gooey texture.
