Ingredients
- 250 ml Coconut Milk
- 100 g Granulated Erythritol
- 100 g Almond Flour
- 50 g Tapioca Flour
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tsp Instant Yeast
- 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk until warm (do not boil). Remove from heat and dissolve the granulated erythritol in the warm coconut milk. Set aside to cool to lukewarm.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, tapioca flour, turmeric powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Gradually add the flour mixture and the cooled coconut milk mixture, stirring until combined.
Step 4
Add the instant yeast and vanilla extract, and stir until the yeast is well-incorporated.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rest in a warm place for about 45 minutes to 1 hour until it doubles in size.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking pan (preferably round) with a bit of oil or line it with parchment paper.
Step 7
Carefully pour the rested batter into the prepared baking pan, ensuring it is level.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Slice and serve as a delightful low-carb treat with tea or coffee.
