Coconut Cloud Cake

 

Sugar-Free Coconut Cloud Cake

(A soft, airy cake with a dreamy coconut flavor)

Ingredients (Serves 8-10)

For the Cake:

2 ½ cups almond flour

¼ cup coconut flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

6 large eggs, separated

½ cup powdered monk fruit or erythritol

½ cup unsweetened coconut milk (or heavy cream)

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon coconut extract

For the Frosting:

1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

3 tablespoons powdered monk fruit or erythritol

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon coconut extract

¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease two 8-inch cake pans and line with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. Whip the egg whites: In a separate clean bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

4. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk egg yolks, powdered sweetener, melted butter, coconut milk, vanilla, and coconut extract until smooth.

5. Combine batter: Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Then, gently fold in the whipped egg whites until fully incorporated (this keeps the cake light and airy).

6. Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.

7. Make the frosting: Whip heavy cream, sweetener, vanilla, and coconut extract until thick and fluffy.

8. Assemble: Spread whipped frosting between cake layers and over the top. Sprinkle with shredded coconut.

9. Chill & serve: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for the best texture.

Optional Additions:

Toast the shredded coconut for extra flavor.

Add a sugar-free pineapple filling for a tropical twist.

Drizzle with sugar-free white chocolate for an elegant finish.
