Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 4 large eggs, separated
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ cup melted butter (or coconut oil)
- ⅓ cup sugar-free sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, etc.)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease or line an 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pan.
- Whip Egg Whites
- Separate eggs, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in another. Add cream of tartar to egg whites and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Combine Yolk Mixture
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, melted butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract.
- Sift in almond flour, coconut flour, and salt. Mix until combined.
- Fold Egg Whites
- Fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it. Then gently fold in the remaining egg whites, taking care not to deflate them.
- Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve
- Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Top with sugar-free whipped cream or fresh berries, if desired.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, replace butter with coconut oil.
- Folding the egg whites gently is crucial for maintaining the cake’s airy texture.
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container. It stays fresh for about 2 days at room temperature or 4–5 days in the refrigerator.
- You can also freeze individual slices for up to 2 months.
