Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated erythritol
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 0.5 cup almond milk, unsweetened
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated erythritol with an electric mixer until it is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add in the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate.
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with the almond milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined after each addition.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then gently remove them from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cooled, if desired, frost with your favorite low-carb frosting or serve as is.
