Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper or lightly coat with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.
  • Fold in the chopped or mashed strawberries, mixing until evenly distributed.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is lightly golden on top.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

2. Prepare the Strawberry Filling:

  • While the cake is baking, prepare the strawberry filling. In a small saucepan, combine the mashed strawberries, erythritol, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  • Heat over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes a syrup-like consistency.
  • Set aside to cool completely.

3. Prepare the Whipped Cream:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  • Add the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract, then continue beating until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.

4. Assemble the Cake:

  • Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate.
  • Spread a layer of the strawberry filling on top of the first cake layer.
  • Place the second cake layer on top and gently press down.
  • Frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped cream topping.
  • Garnish with fresh strawberries on top for an extra touch of flavor and decoration.

5. Serve:

  • Slice and serve! This cake is perfect for special occasions or as a delicious treat anytime you crave something sweet without the carbs.

Tips:

  • Storage: Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. It’s also great for freezing if you want to keep it for a longer period.
  • Make it a layered dessert: You can layer the strawberry filling and whipped cream in between the cake layers for an even more decadent dessert.
  • Sweetener adjustments: Adjust the sweetness to your liking depending on your sweetener’s strength. Some sweeteners may be sweeter than others, so feel free to taste and adjust as needed.

This Keto Double Strawberry Cake is a great way to enjoy a guilt-free dessert while satisfying your strawberry cravings. The combination of fresh strawberries, a fluffy cake base, and creamy whipped topping is simply irresistible!
