Description
A delicious low carb strawberry shortcake that is guilt-free and perfect for those watching their carb intake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup granulated erythritol (or your favorite low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered erythritol (for sweetening the whipped cream)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring gently until everything is just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- After baking, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, whip the heavy cream with the powdered erythritol until soft peaks form.
- Once the cake has cooled, carefully slice it in half horizontally.
- On the bottom layer, spread a generous amount of whipped cream, followed by half of the sliced strawberries.
- Place the top layer of the cake on this, and then spread the remaining whipped cream over the top.
- Finish by decorating with the rest of the strawberries for a beautiful presentation.
Notes
- For a zesty kick, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
- Feel free to swap out strawberries for other berries like blueberries or raspberries for a delightful variation.
