Description

This delicious cake can be used in a number of ways… cupcakes, loaf cake, layer cake, but my favorite is with fresh local berries and whipped cream.


Ingredients

  • 3/4 Cup softened butter
  • 1 cup sugar substitute (I use Lakanto or Swerve), or regular sugar if you’re not counting carbs
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cream, milk or coconut or almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1-1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil and flour a 9×9 pan. Line with parchment paper for best results. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt. Sift together to mix well. Set aside.
  3. In medium to large bowl, Cream butter and sugar substitute until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat until fully blended. Add milk and extracts and mix until blended. Add the flour mixture to the the butter mixture and mix gently until creamy.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake about 25 minutes or until set and a toothpick or bamboo skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan on a rack.
  5. For shortcake, cut into squares and serve with fresh fruit and whipped heavy cream or coconut cream.
