Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • electric mixer
  • spatula
  • 9 inch bundt cake mold I love the silicone ones!
  • sheet pan (to place mold on)
  • cutting board or large plate (for flipping cake)
  • frosting piping bag or spoon

Ingredients

  • 3 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 3/4 cup arrowroot flour or tapioca flour Either can be used interchangeably for the sake of this recipe.
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 6 whole eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 0.5 fluid oz Red food coloring You can use a plant based dye free food coloring, but just note that the color may not be as bright.
  • olive oil (for spraying bundt cake mold)  I love Trader Joes Extra Virgin Spanish Olive oil spray! Any kind of cooking oil spray will work.

For the cream cheese frosting:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese If you are dairy free, you can use dairy free cream cheese.
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Optional cake toppings:

  • Crushed candy canes
  • White chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and spray the silicone baking mold with olive oil spray or your nonstick spray of choice.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients, then combine gently.
  • Place the bundt mold on a sheet pan for support prior to pouring any batter in. Slowly and evenly pour the batter into the mold.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 55 minutes.
  • Upon removing from the oven, allow the cake to sit for 20 minutes to set.
  • Place a cutting board or large plate on top of the silicone mold and flip the cake over, allowing it to separate from the mold.

For the frosting:

  • Add the ingredients in a bowl and mix with a hand mixer until well mixed throughout. Put the frosting in a piping bag and drizzle over the cake. If you do not have a pipping bag you can use a spoon.
