Ingredients:
Dry ingredients:
1 1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tsp baking powder
Wet ingredients:
3 eggs
1 cup yogurt
1 cup strawberry puree —> (Save the juice from the strawberries to color the whipped cream.)
8 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Start by melting the butter.
While the butter is melting add all the dry ingredients into a large sized bowl, then combine until all lumps and pieces are incorporated.
Now add the wet ingredients one at a time into the bowl and combine. Make sure to add the eggs last or after the butter, so your eggs don’t curdle.
Before moving on make sure your batter is smooth and runny.
Pre heat the oven to 350 F.
Choose your cake pan, and oil it. I personally use coconut oil. You can also always put parchment paper!
Pour the batter into the pan and spread it out, make sure there are no bubbles in the batter or you may create holes in your cake. A good way to get out bubbles is by tapping the pan lightly against your table or counter (lightly plz ;).
Now put your cake to bake for 20-30 minutes, but make sure to check often because your oven may differentiate from mine.
Whipped cream ingredients:
Whipping cream
Cream cheese
Powdered sugar
Juice from the strawberries —> (When you puree the strawberries first strain out the juice)
Instructions:
Whip the cream cheese until it softens, then pour the whipping cream and whip all together until you notice it starting to stiffen. Now add your powdered sugar. Make sure you don’t over whip it!
Now that the whipped cream if fully stiffened and sugar is added, add the juice from strawberries. It will get watery at first just mix it well and whip a bit more to get back to the stiff constancy.
