Ingredients
- 100 g almond flour
- 20 g coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 100 g unsalted butter, softened
- 100 g erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 60 ml heavy cream
- 50 g sugar-free powdered sweetener
- 50 g fresh berries (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-hole cupcake tin with fairy cake or cupcake cases.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients until well incorporated.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and erythritol together until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on a medium setting.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sweetener mixture, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the heavy cream. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Step 6
Evenly spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake cases, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
Step 8
While the cakes are baking, prepare the frosting by combining the sugar-free powdered sweetener with a few teaspoons of water, stirring until smooth and at the desired consistency.
Step 9
Once the cakes are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Optionally decorate each fairy cake with a small dollop of frosting and top with fresh berries before serving.
