Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line a parchment paper over a square pan and set aside.

In a separate large bowl beat the eggs along with the butter, almond milk and vanilla extract to form a homogeneous mixture.
Add the dry ingredients mixture in batches to the liquid mixture until it forms a smooth batter without any lumps.
Transfer half of the batter into the prepared pan, spread half of the prepared streusel evenly over the batter. Add the remaining cake batter over and top it with the remaining streusel.
Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, allow the cake to cool down for at least 1 hour .
Meanwhile prepare the glaze by combining the powdered sweetener and almond milk in a bowl. Mix it to form a syrupy consistency.

Notes

Use blanched almond flour rather than almond meal for the best texture.
Sifting the almond flour before adding to the batter will help to eliminate any lumps.
Bring ingredients to room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
If using salted butter, omit the additional salt in the recipe.
Almond flour can go rancid so be sure your flour is fresh.
Don’t over mix the batter or the cake can become dry.
Don’t overbake the cake as this can also lead to dryness.
