Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 3/4 cup whey protein powder
- 1 cup monkfruit sweetener, or sweetner of choice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 TBS vanilla extract
- 1 TBS baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- strawberries, optional
- 1 batch my Cool Whip Substitute Recipe, optional https://janetsdeliciouslowcarbkitchen.com/how-to-make-keto-cool-whip-substitute/
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 8 x 8 inch cake pan with parchment paper
- In a large mixer bowl whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, whey protein powder, monkfruit sweetener, salt, and xanthan gum until fully combined and no lumps are in the flour.
- Add melted butter, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, eggs and vanilla extract. Beat on low 30 seconds or until fully combined
- Srape down the sides of the bowl and push batter to the center of the bowl. Let the batter sit for 3 minutes so the coconut flour can absorb some of the moisture and the xanthan gum can become active.
- After it has set add baking powder and baking soda. Beat on low 15 seconds or until fully distributed in the batter.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and push the batter once again to the center of the bowl. Spoon batter into prepared cake pan Bake 20-30 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. CAKE WILL BE SOFT BUT TESTER SHOULD COME OUT CLEAN
- Let cool in the pan COMPLETELY before slicing. The cake will continue to cook and firm up as it cools. It may deflate slightly as it cools
- Once it is cooled cut the cake into the desired size of pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to serve.
- TO SERVE: Place desired size of cake piece onto a plate. Top with the desired amount of cool whip substitute. Sprinkle desired amount of chopped strawberries over cool whip substitute
