Ingredients

• 200 grams almond flour
• 50 grams coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 120 grams unsalted butter
• 80 milliliters sugar-free honey substitute
• 100 milliliters heavy cream
• 2 large eggs
• 50 grams powdered erythritol
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 250 grams cream cheese
• 200 milliliters whipping cream
• 50 grams walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).

Step 2

In a bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, and baking soda.

Step 3

In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the sugar-free honey substitute and heavy cream, stirring until well combined. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with powdered erythritol until fluffy. Gradually add the cooled butter mixture and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined and smooth.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly into two 20 cm (8 inch) round cake pans, lined with parchment paper.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cakes to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 9

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and whipping cream. Whip until smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread half of the cream cheese filling evenly over the top.

Step 11

Place the second layer on top and spread the remaining filling over the top and sides of the cake.

Step 12

Chop walnuts finely and press them gently into the sides of the cake for decoration.

Step 13

Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
