Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (300g) and 1 ½ cups (150g) Blanched almond flour
- 6 tbsps (85g) and 4 tbsps (60 ml) Unsalted butter, softened and melted
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup (150g) Monk fruit allulose blend
- ¾ cup (150g) Brown monk fruit allulose blend
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) Powdered monk fruit allulose blend
- ¼ cup (60 ml) and 1 ½ tbsps (22.5 ml) Heavy cream
- ½ tbsp (7.5 ml) and ¼ tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tsps (10g) Baking powder
- ¼ tsp and 1/8 tsp Sea salt
- 1 ½ tbsps (22.5 ml) Cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Configure oven to 325°F (162°C) and meticulously grease a 9×9-inch stoneware baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Batter Creation: Utilize an electric mixer to whip butter and sweetener until achieving a light, airy texture. Introduce eggs, cream, and vanilla extract, blending until completely integrated.
- Dry Ingredient Incorporation: Gently fold almond flour, baking powder, and sea salt into the liquid mixture, stirring until a smooth, homogeneous batter emerges.
- Streusel Composition: In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, sweetener, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Drizzle melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing until a crumbly texture develops.
- Initial Layering: Distribute half the batter evenly across the prepared dish, then generously scatter the first portion of streusel mixture over the surface.
- Secondary Layering: Carefully spread remaining batter over the initial streusel layer, smoothing to create an uniform top. Sprinkle the final streusel portion, ensuring complete coverage.
- Baking Process: Place in preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes until streusel turns golden brown. Loosely cover with aluminum foil and continue baking for an additional 20-30 minutes.
- Doneness Verification: Test cake’s readiness by inserting a toothpick – it should emerge clean without any wet batter.
- Icing Preparation: Whisk powdered sweetener with heavy cream until achieving a silky, smooth consistency.
- Finishing Touch: Allow cake to cool for 20 minutes, then delicately drizzle prepared icing across the top before serving.
Notes
- Flour Swap Option: Substitute almond flour with coconut flour, reducing quantity by 25% for optimal texture and moisture retention.
- Sweetener Selection: Use powdered erythritol or monk fruit blend to prevent grainy texture and ensure smooth, even sweetness throughout the cake.
- Moisture Maintenance: Do not overmix batter to prevent dense, tough cake; mix just until ingredients are combined for light, tender crumb.
- Streusel Stability: Ensure melted butter is slightly cooled before mixing with dry streusel ingredients to prevent clumping and achieve perfect crumbly consistency.
