Serves 10
Ingredients
1 cup extra virgin olive oil, more for the baking pan
¾ cup coconut flour
¾ cup granulated erythritol
2 tsp. baking powder
1 ½ tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. kosher salt
6 large eggs
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract or paste
1 cup sugar free vanilla yogurt, for serving (optional)
Fresh berries, almonds, or toasted coconut, for serving (optional)
Recipe
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with olive oil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs on medium speed until tripled in volume and pale yellow, 5 minutes. Add the olive oil and vanilla extract and beat until combined, 1minute.
- Turn the mixer to the lowest setting and slowly add the dry ingredients. Beat until thoroughly combined.
- Using a silicon spatula, scrape the batter into the prepared springform and bake until browned and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
- Set on a rack to cool and run a thin knife around the edge. After 15 minutes, remove the springform and let cool completely.
- Once cooled, transfer to a cake plate and serve with yogurt, berries, and nuts, if desired.
