2tspBaking Powder
1/2tspBaking Soda
1/2tspXanthan Gum (Vital for structure/sturdiness)
1/2tspSea Salt
3Large Eggs (Separated)
6ozFull-Fat Sour Cream (Room temp)
3tbspMelted Butter (Cooled)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 8x4 loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sour cream, and melted butter until smooth and pale. Stir in the dry ingredients - a thick dough will form.
In a separate clean glass bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks. Gently fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the dough to loosen it up. Then, very gently fold in the remaining whites.
Pour into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes. The top should be golden brown and a toothpick should come out clean. Let it cool for 30 minutes then slice and serve. Enjoy!
