Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Separate the eggs into yolks and whites. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with granulated erythritol using an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is pale and thick, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the unsweetened almond milk and vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture and mix until combined. Then, gently fold in the dry ingredients until smooth.
In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in three additions, using a spatula to maintain as much air as possible.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared jelly roll pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is golden and springs back when touched lightly.
While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel and dust it lightly with almond flour.
Once baked, immediately invert the cake onto the prepared towel. Remove the parchment paper and starting at the shorter end of the cake, gently roll it up in the towel. Allow the rolled cake to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, make the filling. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Once the cake is completely cool, carefully unroll it. Spread the whipped cream filling evenly over the cake surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
Gently re-roll the cake without the towel, using the whipped cream filling to hold it together.
Transfer the cake roll to a serving platter. For a neat presentation, trim the ends, if desired.
Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving to set the filling and improve texture. Slice and serve chilled.
