  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F and grease two 6-inch round cake pans with 1 tbsp butter.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups almond flour, 1/4 cup coconut flour, and 1 tsp baking powder.
  3. Step 3: In a separate large bowl, beat 5 large eggs with 1/2 cup powdered erythritol until fluffy, about 3 minutes.

  5. Step 5: Divide batter evenly between the two pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Step 6: Let cakes cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. Step 7: For the filling, whip 8 oz mascarpone cheese, 1 cup heavy cream, and 3 tbsp powdered erythritol together until thick and spreadable.
  8. Step 8: Place one cake layer on a plate, spread half of the mascarpone cream, and scatter 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries evenly.
  9. Step 9: Top with the second cake layer and spread the remaining mascarpone cream, garnishing with the remaining strawberries before serving.
