Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients including almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot starch, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt.
  2. In a measuring cup or smaller bowl, add warm cream and vinegar and give it a quick stir. Leave aside.
  3. In another larger bowl, whisk together coconut oil, sweeteners, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
  4. Add the cream and vinegar mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until a thick batter forms.
  6. Grease a cake pan, scrape the batter into the pan, spread evenly, and bake for 25-28 minutes.
  7. Let it cool, make the frosting by beating heavy cream until thick, then add sweetener and extracts. Beat cream cheese separately, combine with whipped cream, and spread over the cake.

Notes

  • You can top the cake with slivered almonds before baking or dust with powdered sweetener.
  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
