Yields 8-10 servings

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

• 1/2 cup honey

• 2 large eggs, at room temperature

• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

• 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese

• 1 1/4 cups almond flour

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°. Prepare a standard 8" cake pan by misting generously with nonstick spray. Set aside.

Combine applesauce, honey, and eggs in a bowl until well mixed and eggs are fully beaten. Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts. Once combined, mix in the ricotta until incorporated.

Separately, combine the almond flour and baking powder. Add a dash of kosher salt and whisk to combine. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix to form a batter.

Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan, smoothing out the top and ensuring the batter covers the entire diameter of the pan. Bake for approx. 45 minutes, until top of cake is lightly browned, and a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the cake. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature prior to slicing and serving.
