Ingredients
  

For Cake:
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup butter (softened)
  • ½ cup erythritol
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
For Custard Filling:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 egg yolks
  • ¼ cup erythritol
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For Chocolate Ganache:
  • ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowls
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Electric Mixer
  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Baking pan
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Cake: First, you’ll Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). In a bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl, beat together the butter and erythritol until it is light and fluffy. Stir in eggs and vanilla, then mix in dry ingredients with almond milk until smooth. Transfer the batter into a greased pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Let it cool completely.
  2. Make the Custard: Bring heavy cream to a simmer in a saucepan. In another bowl, beat egg yolks with erythritol. Titrate hot cream into the yolk mix; return to heat and cook until thick. Stir in butter and vanilla. Let it chill.
  3. Prepare the Ganache: Melt chocolate chips in heavy cream until smooth.
  4. Assemble: Slice the cake in the middle, lay custard in the center and finish with ganache. Chill before serving.

Notes

  • All components should be at room temperture to make a smooth batter.
  • Don’t overbake — the cake should stay moist.
  • Chill custard well before layering.
  • If you want a true ganache texture, use sugar-free dark chocolate.
  • Cut with a warmed knife to prevent messy layers.
