Instructions

Make the Cake Base:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper and lightly grease with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and sweetener.
  • Add the melted butter, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the pans. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the cakes completely on a cooling rack before assembling.

Prepare the Filling:

  • In a bowl of a stand mixer, whip the heavy cream and gelatin until soft peaks form.
  • Add the cream cheese, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
  • Slice most of the strawberries, reserving 12–13 whole ones for decoration.

Make the Ganache:

  • In a small saucepan, melt butter and cream cheese over low heat. Stir until smooth.
  • Whisk in the heavy cream, cocoa powder, and sweetener. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • Simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ganache thickens and becomes glossy.

Assemble the Cake:

  • Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half the filling evenly on top, then layer with sliced strawberries.
  • Place the second cake layer on top. Spread the remaining filling over the top and sides.
  • Pour the ganache over the cake. Use an offset spatula to smooth it evenly over the top and sides.
  • Decorate with piped ganache swirls and whole strawberries.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Tips for the Best Keto Cake
  • Christmas Cake Twist: Decorate with red and green berries, edible gold leaf, or sugar-free sprinkles for a festive look.
  • Wedding Cake Elegance: Add edible flowers, white chocolate curls, or a tiered structure for a stunning centerpiece.
  • Birthday Cake Fun: Pipe messages on the ganache or top with sugar-free candles.
Storage and Serving
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Let the cake sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
