Ingredients

Bottom Layer

Top Layer

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease an 8-inch spring form pan (or our preferred way - 3-4 4" pans) with coconut oil spray. Prep pans well - this will prevent sticking.
  • BOTTOM LAYERAdd the butter, vanilla extract and eggs into a large mixing bowl and combine using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
  • Add the coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder and optionally the gelatin, and combine using a spatula.
  • Set aside.
  • TOP LAYERIn a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese using a hand mixer.
  • Add in the vanilla extract, erythritol, stevia and eggs, and combine with the hand mixer until smooth.
  • CAKEForm the bottom layer (effectively the cake's "crust") into the bottom of the spring form pan using your hands. 
  • Pour the top layer on top of the crust layer and give it a few taps to release the air bubbles.
  • Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes.
  • Your cake is ready to cool when you notice the sides are browning.
  • Cool for 15-20 minutes to let cake set before removing from pans or moving around too much.
  • Serve and enjoy!
