Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking dish, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the base layer: Combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, melted butter, eggs, sweetener, and vanilla in a bowl. Stir together until thick dough comes together.
  3. Spread the base in the pan: Distribute the base batter evenly into the lined dish and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  4. Make the cream cheese layer: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with butter, eggs, sweetener, and vanilla until well combined and creamy.
  5. Layer it: Drizzle, or use a spoon to carefully spread, the cream cheese over the bottom layer.
  6. Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are deep golden and the center is just set.
  7. Cool before slicing: Cool the cake for at least 10 minutes before slicing and and serving.

Notes

  • Allow ingredients to come to room temperature for easier blending.
  • Bake the cake until firm in the center; allow it to continue to set as it cools for a gooey center.
  • And a couple drops of almond extract to punch up the flavor.
  • Line the pan with parchment paper for easy eschewing.
  • The paté will keep in the fridge and can be very gently reheated before serving for a better mouthfeel.
