Happy Belated Fathers Day + Keto Cherry Cake

Happy Belated Father's Day! Sorry for not doing it sooner. On Sunday, I was very busy. My whole family really enjoyed the cherry cake that I made. :) The recipe is below.




Ingredients for the Keto Cherry Cake:

• 1 cup erythritol (powdered)
• 3/4 cup butter
• 6 large eggs
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup almond milk (I used regular milk)
• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 3 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1 cup chopped cherries
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp Xanthan gum powder
• 1 Tbsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp cherry baking emulsion (I didn't use this because I couldn't find it in the store.)
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions:

1.    Preheat oven to 350F and prepare cake pans by well greasing and adding parchment. To prevent the cakes from over-browning add tin foil to the outside of the pans.
2.    Add eggs to a mixing bowl and whip on high for 2 minutes.
3. Melt the butter in the microwave, but do not overheat. We want the butter soft, but not too hot.
4.  Add vanilla, almond milk, melted butter, apple cider vinegar, sour cream, and cherry emulsion to egg mixture and blend until well incorporated.
5. Sift coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, Xanthan gum, salt, and powdered erythritol in a large bowl. (Sifting makes all the difference. It takes a lot of work, but it is worth it. Trust me.) Once the dry ingredients are well-blended add in the chopped cherries and stir to coat.
6. Gently fold the egg mixture to the dry ingredient mixture. Do not over mix.
7. Divide batter between two 9 inch cake rounds (or three 6 inch cake rounds).
8. Bake in a 350F oven for 30-35 minutes. At the 10 minute mark, add a piece of tin foil or parchment and loosely cover the tops of the cake pans. The cakes are finished baking when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool on a cooling rack for about an hour before adding frosting.

Ingredients for pink cream cheese frosting: 

• 8 oz cream cheese
• 4 tbsp butter
• 1/2 cup erythritol
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2-3 drops red food coloring

Instructions:

1.  Whip the cream cheese and the butter until light and fluffy
2. Add the erythritol. Mix for 2-3 minutes.
3. Mix in the vanilla and the food coloring
4. Pipe or spread the icing
5. Enjoy!
