Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 0.75 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well-mixed.
In another large bowl, beat the melted butter and eggs together until combined. Add the vanilla extract, almond milk, and sour cream, beating until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring constantly until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to prevent the cake from becoming dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cake as is or with a topping of your choice, such as a low-carb cream cheese frosting or a sprinkle of powdered erythritol.
