Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup unflavoured whey protein powder
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granular sweetener (erythritol recommended)
  • 5 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup butter (for glaze)
  • 1/2 cup granular sweetener (for glaze)
  • 1/4 cup water (for glaze)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Cream softened butter and granular sweetener in a large bowl until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes). Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in whipping cream.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
  • While cake bakes, prepare the glaze: melt 1/2 cup butter with 1/2 cup granular sweetener and 1/4 cup water. Simmer for 2 minutes, then stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  • Immediately poke holes in the warm cake with a skewer. Pour hot glaze evenly over the cake and let it soak in. Cool completely before serving.
