When living a LCHF lifestyle, you do get used to using alternative flours or nuts and oats, to make low-carb cakes. Take this recipe for example … a pile of whipped orange-scented cream cheese frosting is the perfect accompaniment to the nutty cake underneath.
Ingredients
12 servings
265g walnut pieces (about 2 ¼ cups)
140g Swerve (¾ cup) or other cup for cup sugar replacement
¼ teaspoon (kosher) salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
7 (free-range) eggs, room temperature, separated
1 tablespoon orange extract (or orange juice)
Cooking spray
Cream Cheese Frosting
4 ounces whipped cream cheese (½ a tub)
90g Swerve confectioner's sugar
2 tablespoons orange zest (about 1 medium orange)
¼ cup whipping cream, plus 2-3 tablespoons more, if needed (can substitute regular milk)
peeled orange segments for garnish (optional)

Walnut cake sounds perfect
That cake sounds delightful.
I was thinking about walnuts just a while ago.
Coffee is on and stay safe

Mmmmm that sure looks good.
It sounds delicious. I think walnuts, although they can be bitter, make a nice alternative to almonds.
Oh wow - I feel fortunate not to have any special food requirements but this sure does look good for everyone!
Gracias por la receta adoro las nueces y pronto la hare. Te mando un beso

Walnuts are good for us. I would love a slice with my tea :-)
Wonderful healthy cake to take away the blues? x
cake looks good but it's the beautiful pink tea cup that got my attention! tea always tastes better in proper cup, I think :)
I always asked my grandmother for carrot walnut cake on my birthday. It looks wonderful, but needs carrots (grin).
