Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 g almond flour
- 20 g coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 100 g unsalted butter, softened
- 100 g erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 60 ml heavy cream
- 50 g sugar-free powdered sweetener
- 50 g fresh berries (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-hole cupcake tin with fairy cake or cupcake cases.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients until well incorporated.
In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and erythritol together until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on a medium setting.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sweetener mixture, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the heavy cream. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Evenly spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake cases, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
While the cakes are baking, prepare the frosting by combining the sugar-free powdered sweetener with a few teaspoons of water, stirring until smooth and at the desired consistency.
Once the cakes are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally decorate each fairy cake with a small dollop of frosting and top with fresh berries before serving.
