Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 6 large Eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line the bottom of a 9-inch round baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the sides lightly with butter or oil.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated erythritol together until well combined and slightly frothy. Add in the melted butter, almond milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well.
Slowly add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth, lump-free batter forms. Split the batter equally into two bowls.
In one of the bowls, sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder and mix until fully combined to create the chocolate batter. Leave the other batter plain for the vanilla layer.
Using a tablespoon, add a scoop of vanilla batter to the center of the prepared baking pan. Then, add a tablespoon of chocolate batter directly on top of the vanilla batter. Continue alternating between the two batters until all the batter is used up, forming concentric rings in the pan.
Gently tap the pan on the countertop to remove air bubbles and to level the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the zebra cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your beautiful Keto Zebra Cake as is, or pair it with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat. Enjoy!
