# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan and dust with a little blanched almond flour, then line the bottom with parchment paper. This initial step is crucial for a perfect Delicious Low-Carb Strawberry Cake Recipe.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups blanched almond flour, 3/4 cup granulated erythritol-monk fruit blend, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp fine sea salt. Ensure all ingredients are well combined and free of lumps.
03 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. This forms the liquid base for your Delicious Low-Carb Strawberry Cake Recipe.
04 -
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until just combined, then gently fold in 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted. Be careful not to overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb.
05 -
In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced, 2 tbsp powdered erythritol-monk fruit blend, and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the strawberries soften. If desired, stir in 1/4 tsp xanthan gum for a thicker swirl.
06 -
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Spoon half of the strawberry swirl over the batter, then top with the remaining batter and swirl in the remaining strawberries. Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
07 -
In a large bowl, beat 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened, and 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, until light and creamy. Gradually add 1 cup powdered erythritol-monk fruit blend, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp heavy cream. Beat until fluffy. This frosting is key to the Delicious Low-Carb Strawberry Cake Recipe.
08 -
Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the Velvet Cream Cheese Frosting evenly over the top. Garnish with 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced. Slice and serve your beautiful Delicious Low-Carb Strawberry Cake Recipe.
# Notes:
01 -
Do not overmix the cake batter; almond flour cakes can become dense if over-agitated.
02 -
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days due to the cream cheese frosting.
03 -
For a different flavor profile, you can substitute raspberries or blackberries for the strawberries in the swirl.
04 -
Ensure your cream cheese and butter are truly softened for the frosting to achieve a smooth, lump-free texture.
