Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the softened butter with erythritol sweetener using a hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the almond milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Use a spatula to smooth the tops.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
