Ingredients

• 150 grams Almond flour
• 30 grams Coconut flour
• 100 grams Erythritol
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 6 large Egg yolks
• 6 large Egg whites
• 120 grams Cream cheese, softened
• 150 grams Dark chocolate (85% cacao or higher), melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and prepare a springform pan by lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a bowl, sift together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Step 4

Add the egg yolks, one at a time, to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Incorporate the softened cream cheese and continue to beat until the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture and beat until thoroughly combined.

Step 7

In a separate clean bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Step 8

Gently fold the egg whites into the batter in batches until well incorporated and no white streaks remain.

Step 9

Spoon a thin layer of the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan, smoothing it out to cover the bottom.

Step 10

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the first layer for 5-6 minutes until golden and set.

Step 11

Remove the pan from the oven and spread another thin layer of batter on top. Bake again for 5-6 minutes.

Step 12

Repeat this layering and baking process until all the batter is used, ending with a golden layer.

Step 13

Once all the layers are baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan slightly, about 10 minutes.

Step 14

Carefully remove the cake from the pan and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 15

Once cooled, melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in a microwave, ensuring it is smooth.

Step 16

Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.

Step 17

Let the chocolate set before slicing and serving your Keto Baumkuchen.
