Ingredients

Ginger Cake

2servingsSnickerdoodle Keto Chow
3/4cupalmond flour
1/4cupcoconut flour
1/4tsp.salt
1Tbsp.ground ginger
2tsp.baking powder
1tsp.ground cinnamon
2large egg(s)
1/2cupsalted buttermelted
1/2cupbrown erythritol blend
1/3cupgranulated allulose
2Tbsp.yacon syrupoptional*
1cupunsweetened almond milk
1tsp.pure vanilla extract

Chantilly Cream

1cupheavy cream
1/4cuppowdered erythritolplus extra for dusting the cake
1/2tsp.pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉, and set a rack to the middle of the oven. Butter an 8 X 8 square, baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Keto Chow, almond flour, coconut flour, ginger, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the melted butter, erythritol, allulose, yacón syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined.
Spread batter in the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes until the cake is brown, set around the edges, and the center springs back when gently touched.
While the cake is baking, make the Chantilly cream by combining the heavy cream, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract in a chilled mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until the cream holds soft peaks. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Cool the cake and remove it from the pan. Dust it with a sprinkling of powdered sugar. For an old-fashioned decorative touch, you can cover the cake with a doily and sift the powdered erythritol over it. Carefully lift the doily and the powdered erythritol will create a lacy pattern.
Serve the cake at room temperature or slightly warm with a healthy dollop of the Chantilly cream.

Notes

*The yacón syrup adds a molasses-like flavor to the cake but can be omitted.
