Instructions
 

For the Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (162°C) and grease your 8×8 or 8×9 baking dish with coconut oil.
  • Using two bowls, one large for mixing, one smaller for liquids. Separate the room temperature eggs, put the egg whites in the larger mixing bowl.
  • Whip the egg whites using an electric mixer. After whipping them for about 30 seconds, gradually add the 1/3 cup of monkfruit sweetener. Whip until soft peaks form when you lift the beaters. Don't overmix.
  • Combine the yolks with the unsweetened nut milk and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, cardamom (optional), baking powder, and salt.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients thoroughly.
  • Mix half of the whipped egg whites into the flour mixture. Make sure this is thoroughly combined.
  • Gently fold in the mixture into the rest of the whipped egg whites. Only mix until this is combined. If you over-mix this, the cake won't be fluffy!
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.

For the Cinnamon Swirl

  • In a bowl, combine the swirl ingredients: 2 tbsp softened coconut oil, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1tbsp monkfruit sweetener. Spoon this into a Ziploc bag and snip the corner off. Drizzle this over the cake mixture that is in the baking dish. You can drizzle in a grid-shape.
  • Use a toothpick or chopstick to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the top of the cake.
  • Bake at 325°F for 40 minutes. Check the cake with a toothpick and make sure the toothpick comes out clean. Cool and enjoy!
