Low Carb Red Velvet Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 C Almond Flour
  • 1 T Coconut Flour
  • 1/2 t Xanthan Gum optional
  • 2 t Baking Powder
  • 1 T Cocoa Powder
  • 3 Eggs room temperature
  • 6 T Butter softened
  • 1 C Powdered Swerve
  • 1 t Vanilla
  • 2 T Sour Cream
  • 1/4-1/3 C Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4-1/2 t Red Gel Food Coloring
  • 8 oz Package of Cream Cheese softened
  • 4 T Butter softened
  • 2 T Heavy Cream
  • 1 C Powdered Monk Fruit
  • 1 t Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray non-stick spray on a round cake pan. Cut out a parchment circle to cover the bottom of the pan and place in the pan. Spray the parchment paper.
  • Sift your almond and coconut flours. If you have some pieces that aren’t going through, dump them out. I always have about 1/2 teaspoon that is larger and I don’t want it in my cake. I want the cake to be smooth.
  • Mix together the dry ingredients in a bowl, minus the chocolate chips.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix together the butter and powdered sweetener. Once that is mixed together well, add the eggs one at a time. Add the sour cream and mix it in.
  • Scrape the edges of the bowl and mix again. Add the vanilla and food coloring and mix again.
  • Add about 1/3 of the dry mix at a time to the mixing bowl. When it is incorporated, add the next 1/3. When that is incorporated add the final 1/3 of the dry mix.
  • Scrape the edges of the bowl and mix again.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour cake batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake for 20 minutes and check to see if it is cooked through. Keep checking in 3-4 minute intervals until cooked in the middle.
  • I put my cake in the refrigerator to cool off so I can frost the cake pretty quickly. You don’t want your cake warm when you frost it with the cream cheese frosting.
  • Frosting Instructions
  • Put the cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl. Beat until combined. You might need to stop the mixer and scrape the edges.
  • 2.Add the powdered sweetener and mix again.
  • Add vanilla and whipping cream and beat until fluffy and everything is combined.
  • Remove cake from the pan and place on a plate. Frost the cooled cake with the icing.
  • Keep covered in the fridge.
