Instructions
 

Vanilla Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 325 F degrees F. Line the bottoms of two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper rounds, then spray with nonstick baking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, buttermilk, cooled butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Mix until thoroughly combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
  • Mix until well combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared baking pans and bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. 
  • Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pan (at least 30 minutes) before removing. Remove the parchment paper liner and frost as desired.

Vanilla Buttercream

  • Add butter and vanilla to a large mixing bowl or a stand mixer (paddle attachment). Mix on high speed until pale and fluffy. 
  • Add the powdered sweetener, mixing on low speed until incorporated, then on medium speed for 2 minutes until fluffy.
  • Add vanilla and cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing well between, until your desired smoothness is achieved.
  • Spread the frosting between the cake layers and on sides using a spatula. Serve or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Allow all ingredients to come to room temperature before mixing, especially the eggs and almond flour.
  • When measuring almond flour, be sure to spoon it into the measuring cup, rather than scooping it into the bag.
  • Almond flour cakes are more likely to stick to the pan. Be sure to spray your cake pan with oil and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.
  • Cake can be stored, unfrosted, for up to three days in the fridge.
