Ingredients (12 serves)
CAKE
- 200 grams almond flour/almond meal -2 Cups
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- ¼ cup monkfruit or alternative sweetener
- 100 grams melted butter
- 2 large eggs

- 2 tablespoon desiccated coconut sugar free- optional
- 50 grams softened butter
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Preheat oven to 175 C/350 F.
-
Prepare a large loaf pan or an 8- 9"/20-23cm round baking pan (or springform pan) by lining the base with baking paper and greasing the pan. You can also line the whole pan with baking paper.
ASSEMBLE THE CAKE
-
Place the berries on top of the batter in the pan. Sprinkle the crumb mixture on top and squeeze clumps together if not clumpy enough.
-
Bake for about 40 minutes or until cake is cooked through in the middle. A loaf pan will take slightly longer than a round pan to cook in the centre (45-50 minutes).
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing.
-
Refrigerate for an hour before slicing and serving or cake might be too delicate to slice.
Recipe Notes
Use either a large loaf pan, an 8 or 9" round pan or a spring pan. Note that the loaf pan will take slightly longer to bake in the centre.\n
Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the crumble mixture for variation.
