GLUTEN FREE CAKE BATTER

DRY INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 cup Blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt

WET INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup Allulose (I use Lankanto Monk fruit/Allulose blend
  • 3/4 cup Butter (sub dairy free if desired)
  • 4 Room temperature eggs. (Or vegan eggs)
  • 1/2 cup Almond or any plant based milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

KETO FROSTING

  • 3 sticks Softened unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup Powdered Monk fruit/Allulose blend
  • 1 ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 3-5 tbsp Heavy Cream or coconut cream

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line two 8-inch pans with parchment/baking paper and set aside.

    CREAM BUTTER

    • In a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream your butter and allulose until fluffy, around 8 minutes. Add the eggs in, one at a time, and beat well until fully incorporated. Add the milk and vanilla extract until combined.

    DRY INGREDIENTS INSTRUCTIONS

    • In a mixing bowl, add your almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt and mix well. Set aside.

    COMBINE

    • Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat until creamy.
    • Divide the batter evenly amongst the two cake pans, and smoothen out the tops. Bake for around 18-22 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely.

    FROSTING

    • Beat the butter in a mixing bowl (stand or hand mixer) for about 7 minutes until light and fluffy. (Don't skimp on this. Its worth it)
    • Slowly add sifted powdered allulose and beat until fully incorporated and fluffy (about 2 more minutes).
    • Add vanilla, salt, and 2 tbsp cream. Beat again until smooth and silky.
    • Adjust consistency: Add more cream (1 tsp at a time) for softer frosting or a tiny bit more powdered allulose for firmer structure.
    • Frost cake
    • Store on counter for 2 days, fridge for 7, wrapped in the freezer for up to a month.
