Servings & Timing

Servings: 8
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20-25 minutes
Total Time: 30-35 minutes

Ingredients List

For the Cake:

  • 6 large eggs, separated (egg whites and yolks separated)
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup erythritol or sweetener of choice (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar (to stabilize egg whites)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Prepare the Egg Whites

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. This will give the cake its signature light, airy texture.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cream cheese, almond milk, vanilla extract, salt, and erythritol until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4: Fold the Mixture

Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk and cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites too much; you want to maintain as much airiness as possible for a fluffy texture.

Step 5: Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool & Serve

Let the cake cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, you can slice and serve!

Optional Toppings:

  • Whipped Cream: A dollop of whipped cream (or coconut whipped cream for a dairy-free version) goes beautifully on top of this fluffy cake.
  • Berries: Fresh raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries add a burst of color and a sweet contrast.
  • Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle a bit of sugar-free chocolate sauce over the top for an extra indulgent touch.

FAQs

Q: Can I make this cake ahead of time?

Yes! This cake stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze individual slices for up to a month. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container to prevent dryness.

Q: What can I substitute if I don’t have erythritol?

You can substitute erythritol with your preferred low-carb sweetener, such as monk fruit sweetener, stevia, or allulose. Adjust the quantity based on your sweetness preference.

Q: Can I use another milk instead of almond milk?

Yes! You can use any unsweetened plant-based milk, such as coconut milk, cashew milk, or even whole milk if you’re not strictly keto.
