This low carb / keto version of the classic sponge cake, soaked in a delicious cream-based sauce, and topped with whipped cream is even quicker and easier to make than the original! Perfect for special occasions.
Ingredients
Serves 8
Serves 8
2g carbs per serving
Cake3 eggs
3½ oz. (100g) almond flour
1 tbsp. (8g) coconut flour
2 tbsp. heavy (double) whipping cream
1 tsp (5g) baking powder
½ tsp cream of tartar
3½ oz. (100g/125ml) erythritol
unsalted butter to grease the baking dish
Sauce
½ cup (125ml) heavy (double) whipping cream
½ cup (125ml) unsweetened almond milk
2½ tbsp. powdered erythritol
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
¼ tsp xanthan gum
Cream
½ cup (125ml) heavy (double) whipping cream
1 tsp cream cheese at room temperature
2 tsp powdered erythritol
To serve
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Tips
If you don't have any cream of tartar (a white powder used in baking), you can use lemon juice. Use half the amount of lemon juice than you would have cream of tartar.
Why use the tiny amount of cream cheese in the whipped cream? It's because if you are not going to serve the dish straight away, the cream cheese helps to keep the whipped cream smooth and fluffy for longer.

The above recipe uses 'low carb flour' and if you are just starting a low carb diet/lifestyle you may feel confused with which low carb flours to use. You may never have used any of them before and how to use them properly can be daunting. Low carb flours do not behave like wheat flour, and how to use them in your old regular high carb recipes is a common question. Of course you may also be interested, or want to know more about them. If that is the case then Libby at 'Ditch The Carbs' site has a very good guide, and you can read it here

...this is a new one for me.
I've tried a Tres Leches cake before and didn't care for it. I might have to try making one myself and see if I like that any better.
Looks and sounds delicious ~ My Mom used to make a very simple sponge cake ~ no frostings

It looks good, but in the hot weather we are experiencing, my sweet tooth is largely savoury.

Looks very tasty and I bet it is.
God bless.
it looks very tasty, sadly I just realized I am more allergic to milk products then I thought. I should stay away from all of that. :(
Such pretty cakes :) but I'm afraid that would be too complicated for me.
Wow, you had me at cake, Jan. This seems to be a very good recipe. Thank you so much for all the inspiration you post here. Have a great week.
