This is a healthy dessert as it doesn’t contain sugar, refined or processed ingredients. You will find all the ingredients with their quantities and also the detailed preparation steps below the post, in the recipe card. The icing is made with mascarpone and sour cream and sweetened with powdered xylitol. Other ingredients for the layers are: plain yogurt, coconut flour, vanilla extract, flax seed meal, coconut oil and baking powder. It is important the sweetener to have a bit of crystal structure, rather than powder as it will help the eggs to increase their volume when beaten: just like the sugar. You also need eggs and a granular keto sweetener like erythritol. You can make it by yourself, as I did, by grinding the whole nuts in a food processor. Together with the delicious mascarpone frosting, they create a wonderful contrast in every bite.įor the layers you need cashew flour.

The two kinds of cake bases are very different in texture and colour: the cashew ones are spongy and light, while the coconut layer is moist and dense. This cake consists of two cashew flour sponge layers and one layer made with coconut flour and flax seeds. I made this cake for my birthday, following the request of my Instagram followers: they chose a healthy white cake with fruits. A cake that literally everyone would love. And it is tasty for real: delicious nutty layers with divine vanilla mascarpone frosting and fresh berries on top. Celebrating with a low carb cake is better than you can imagine! This Vanilla Cashew Cake is low carb and suitable also for keto diet.
