INGREDIENTS:
CAKE LAYER:
- 1 & ½ cups almond flour

- ½ cup granulated Erythritol
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup almond milk
- ⅓ cup liquefied butter

CREAM CHEESE LAYER:
- 1 egg
- Three tbsp. powdered Erythritol
- Eight oz. cream cheese
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
RASPBERRY LAYER:
- ½ to ¾ cup raspberries
CRUMB TOPPING (OPTIONAL)
- ¼ cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 2 tbsp. Erythritol
- Pinch of cinnamon
INGREDIENTS NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- We use the finely blanched almond flour for a delicate, cake-like texture; we don’t have to use the almond meal, which might cause the cake to appear grainy due to its coarseness.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- Coconut flour helps to absorb the water content and it also provides the structure to this cake. Almond flour and coconut flour act extremely differently in baking, so don’t use them interchangeably.
SWEETNER:
- The ideal sweeteners are Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, which can be powdered for the cream cheese layer or granulated for the cake. Select a brand that has a similar measurement to sugar.
CREAM CHEESE:
- We have to use the full-fat cream cheese to make the indulgent and creamier filing. We have to soften it at room temperature for easy mixing.
EGGS:
- Eggs add moisture and structure for optimal results; we have to let the eggs come to room temperature before baking.
BUTTER:
- Butter adds a rich flavor. Use coconut oil instead of melted unsalted butter for a dairy-free variation.
RASPBERRIES:
- We have to use the fresh raspberries, but we can also utilize the frozen raspberries as well, just don’t thaw them in advance to prevent too much moisture.
