Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup refined coconut oil melted
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup low-carb sweetener (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit blend)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Cinnamon Filling
- 1 cup brown sugar substitute (e.g., brown erythritol or Swerve Brown)
- 6 ounces salted butter (1.5 sticks), melted
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Cream Cheese Glaze
- 2 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 ounces heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon low-carb sweetener (e.g., powdered erythritol)
Instructions
- Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Mix the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, melted refined coconut oil, sour cream, low-carb sweetener, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. For a super smooth batter, aim to use room temperature ingredients! Stir gently until everything is just combined; don't overmix.
- Spread the Base: Carefully spread this thick, delicious batter evenly into your prepared pan.
- Whip up the Swirl: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar substitute, melted salted butter, almond flour, and ground cinnamon until it forms a lovely, spiced mixture.
- Create the Swirl: Pour this cinnamon mixture over the cake batter. Grab a knife and gently swirl it through the batter to create those iconic cinnamon ripples, making sure the filling gets nicely distributed. It's okay if it looks a bit bumpy!
- Bake to Perfection: Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the center is set and no longer jiggles. Be sure not to overbake to keep it wonderfully moist.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the cake is still warm, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, and low-carb sweetener in a small bowl. Whisk until it's smooth and creamy. (Room temperature cream cheese helps immensely here!)
- Drizzle and Enjoy: Generously spread the dreamy cream cheese glaze over the warm cake. Once glazed, slice into generous pieces and savor this easy, healthy, and incredibly satisfying treat!
