What’s In The Batter?
The main ingredients of this no-frills cake are blanched almond flour, coconut oil, coconut yogurt, and eggs – which give it the beautiful taste of pure almonds and a hint of coconut. To sweeten it up just right, we’re using powdered monk fruit sweetener that’s a 2-to-1 replacement for regular sugar. It has zero carbs, zero calories, and zero impact on your blood sugar levels.
Helpful Tips To Get Started:
- Make sure to allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Since the cake is gluten-free and doesn’t use any starch or gums to mimic the gluey properties of gluten, it’s delicate. This means that you have to be patient and allow it to cool completely before handling it or it may break easily. However, once it’s cool enough to be sliced into, you’ll agree that it is probably the most tender and moist cake you’ve ever eaten!
- Keep this cake in an airtight container in the fridge. Being made with almond flour and coconut yogurt, the cake is very moist, which means that it has to be stored chilled or mold may easily form. Don’t worry though – it’s one of those cakes that taste so good cold. In fact, I love it even better straight out of the refrigerator!
