Sugar-Free Vanilla Almond Cake




Here's a step-by-step recipe to make a delicious sugar-free vanilla almond cake:

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 2 cups almond flour

  • 1/4 cup coconut flour

  • 1/2 cup erythritol or another sugar-free sweetener

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

For the Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, for desired consistency)

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. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

    • In a large mixing bowl, mix the almond flour and coconut flour. Add the erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.

  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, beat the melted butter and eggs until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, almond milk, and Greek yogurt, and mix until well combined.

  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

    • Introduce dry ingredients to wet ingredients, blending until unified. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

  5. Bake the Cakes:

    • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Stop when a toothpick poked into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

    • Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

  6. Prepare the Frosting:

    • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.

    • Add the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.

    • If the frosting is too thick, add heavy cream. Do it one tablespoon at a time until it's the right consistency.

  7. Assemble the Cake:

    • Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate.

    • Spread a layer of frosting on top, then place the second cake layer on top of the first.

    • Spread the remaining frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.

  8. Serve:

    • Slice and serve your sugar-free vanilla almond cake. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you've started baking.

  • You can add sugar-free chocolate chips or berries to the batter for extra flavor.

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
