Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups almond flour, 1/2 cup erythritol sweetener, and 1 tsp baking powder, whisking to blend evenly.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter and let cool slightly. Whisk in 4 large eggs and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined, then fold in 1 cup fresh raspberries carefully to avoid breaking.
  4. Step 4: Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch round cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
  5. Step 5: For the almond cream frosting, whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, beat 4 oz cream cheese with 1/4 cup powdered erythritol until smooth.
  6. Step 6: Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently until fully combined.
  7. Step 7: Slice the cooled cake horizontally, spread half of the almond cream evenly on the bottom layer, place the top layer over it, and cover the entire cake with the remaining cream. Chill for 1 hour before serving.
