Ingredients
- 400 g Almond flour
- 150 g Butter
- 150 g Honey
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tbsp White vinegar
- 100 g Erythritol
- 500 ml Unsweetened whipping cream
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 150 g Chopped walnuts
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and honey together. Once melted, let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until they become frothy. Gradually incorporate the melted butter and honey mixture.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the baking soda with white vinegar and stir until it fizzes. Add this mixture to the egg and honey mixture and stir well.
Step 5
Gradually fold in the almond flour, ensuring the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
Step 6
Divide the batter into 5 equal parts. Spread each part thinly on separate sheets of parchment paper or baking trays to form a thin layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 7
Bake each layer in the preheated oven for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
Step 8
In a cold mixing bowl, whip the unsweetened whipping cream with erythritol and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Step 9
To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving plate, and spread a generous layer of whipped cream over it. Sprinkle some chopped walnuts on top.
Step 10
Repeat the process with the remaining layers, finishing with a layer of cream and a generous sprinkle of walnuts on top.
Step 11
Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least three hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 12
Serve chilled and enjoy a slice of your sugar-free Marlenka!
