Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 0.75 cup Erythritol (granulated sweetener)
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 6 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Butter (melted)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or a non-stick spray. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. This will be the base of your dry ingredients.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly into two separate bowls. In one bowl, mix in the unsweetened cocoa powder to create the chocolate batter. Leave the other bowl as is for the vanilla batter.

Step 6

To create the zebra pattern, start by pouring 2 tablespoons of vanilla batter into the center of the prepared pan. On top of this, pour 2 tablespoons of chocolate batter. Continue alternating between the two batters, always pouring into the center, until all the batter has been used. The layers will spread and create a zebra-like pattern.

Step 7

Tap the pan gently on the countertop to release any air bubbles and smooth out the batter.

Step 8

Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, slice the cake and serve. Enjoy your low-carb zebra cake as is or with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream!
