Notes
Dairy-free option: swap butter with coconut oil.
I like using finely ground blanched almond flour because it makes a light and fluffy cake. However, unblanched almond flour works as well. In which case, the cake will be a bit denser.
I generally use Swerve granular when making this recipe, though granulated monk fruit works just as well.
Homemade is healthier and tastes better. Admittedly I’ve been using spray. Mom life. 🤷♀️
Everyone’s microwave is different. Overcooking this cake will dry it out. Better to check it at 45 seconds and add more time if need be. Mine turns out perfect at 60 seconds.
Dairy-free option: swap whipped cream with coconut cream.
