Description
A delicious and guilt-free dessert that combines layers of almond flour cake, whipped cream, and mixed berries, perfect for a keto diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the cream)
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, slice it into three equal layers.
- In a trifle dish or serving bowl, layer the cake, whipped cream, and mixed berries. Start with a layer of cake, followed by whipped cream, then berries. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped cream and a few berries on top.
- Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
