Keto Cream Cake

Keto Cream Cake

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 2 cups almond flour (blanched, for a fine texture)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for chocolate flavor)
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit sweetener)
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Cream Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit sweetener)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Cake Batter:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder (if using), sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
    • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined.
  3. Bake the Cake:
    • Pour the batter evenly into the two prepared cake pans.
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
    • Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Make the Cream Filling:
    • While the cakes are cooling, prepare the cream filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with the sweetener and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form (you can use a hand mixer or stand mixer).
    • Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread the whipped cream filling between the two cake layers and on top of the cake.
  5. Serve:
    • Once the cake is frosted, slice and enjoy! You can garnish with a few fresh berries or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate syrup if desired.
