Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Blanched almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 4 Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Natural red food coloring
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened, for frosting)
• 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol or monk fruit (for frosting)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated erythritol, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing continuously. Stir until a smooth batter forms.

Step 5

Add the melted coconut oil into the batter and mix until well incorporated.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans, spreading it out smoothly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and almond milk together until smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of frosting over the top of one cake. Place the second cake on top and spread frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.

Step 11

Slice, serve, and enjoy your sugar-free, gluten-free red velvet cake!
