### Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup coconut whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
- Add in the baking soda and salt, stirring until fully incorporated. You want a thick, cookie dough-like consistency.
- Fold in the blueberries and sliced strawberries gently, so they don’t get crushed.
- Spread the mixture into the prepared cake pan, smoothing it out evenly.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
- Once baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, top with coconut whipped cream and decorate with extra berries to make it look extra fabulous!
