Ingredients
Cake Ingredients:
6 eggs
1 1/3 cups (200g) Confectioners Swerve
1/2 cup (120g) melted butter
2 teaspoons (8g) red food coloring (or beet juice)
2 teaspoons (8g) vanilla extract
2 2/3 cups (300g) almond flour
pinch of salt
2 teaspoons (8g) baking powder
2 tbsps (10g) cocoa powder
Frosting Ingredients:
8 ounce (225g) cold cream cheese
3/4 cup (75g) confectioners swerve
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a cake pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk eggs with Confectioners Swerve and melted butter, you don’t have to beat it a lot, just make sure everything is well incorporated. Then add food coloring and vanilla extract, mix until the color is even.
- In a separate bowl mix dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Pour the batter evenly between 2 prepared spring-form pans. *Make sure to use a maximum of 9 inch ones...or use 7-inch ones for a thicker cake. Also, make sure to line them with parchment paper and coat it with baking spray.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then place onto a wire rack.
- In a bowl, beat the cream cheese with confectioners swerve, salt, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth. Then slowly add in the cold heavy cream and beat for about 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cakes are cool, frost the top of one of the cakes with 1/4 of the frosting, and then put the other half of the cake on top. Then, frost the top of the top layer of cake with another 1/4 of frosting, and then use the rest of the frosting to cover all the sides.
- After all of the frosting has been dispersed evenly over the cake cut it into 12 slices, and serve.
