strawberry cake with vanilla buttercream

This recipe has layers of fresh strawberries and fluffy vanilla buttercream on top of a luscious low-carb cake. It tastes best when made a day in advance and is ideal for the summer.

Yields: 12 servings Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 35 minutes Total Time: 50 minutes (plus cooling time)

Ingredients:

Cake:
  • 4 egg whites
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated erythritol
  • 1 cup (113g) almond flour
  • 3.5 oz (100g) butter, melted
  • ⅔ cup (160ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground psyllium husk powder
  • 4 drops almond extract
Vanilla Buttercream:
  • 4 egg yolks
  • ¾ cup (180ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp (25g) erythritol
  • 3.5 oz (100g) butter, softened
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
Frosting and Decoration:
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 lb (454g) fresh strawberries

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the pan and preheat the oven: Turn the oven up to 365°F (185°C) and butter an 8-inch springform cake pan.
  2. Separate the Eggs and Whip the Whites: separate the eggs and put the whites in a big bowl and the yolks in a small saucepan. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites for about three minutes, or until soft peaks form.
  3. Sweeten and Blend Cake Batter: Add the erythritol to the beaten egg whites. After that add the almond flour, baking powder, psyllium husk powder, almond essence, and melted butter. Avoid overwhipping by rapidly combining everything.
  4. Bake the Cake: Evenly pour the batter into the springform pan that has been oiled. A toothpick placed in the center of the cake should come out clean after 35 minutes of baking in the preheated oven.
  5. Allow the Cake to Cool Fully: After taking the cake out of the oven, allow it to cool fully before icing. For the best flavour and texture, cover the cake with plastic wrap and chill overnight if serving the next day.
  6. Make the Vanilla Buttercream: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the egg yolks and heavy whipping cream. As you add the remaining ingredients for the buttercream (excluding butter), whisk everything well. Whisk the mixture continuously until it thickens. Steer clear of boiling the cream—it will curdle. Take off the heat.
  7. Add Butter and Chill: Chop the softened butter into small pieces and add it to the cream mixture bit by bit, stirring until all the ingredients are melted and thoroughly mixed. Let the buttercream cool completely, in the fridge if possible for the entire night.
  8. Whip the Buttercream: When the cake is ready to be frosted, scoop the cooled buttercream into a big bowl and use an electric mixer to beat it until it becomes light and fluffy.
  9. Assemble and Frost the Cake: Cut the cake in half lengthwise so that there are two equal layers. After positioning the bottom layer onto a cake stand, cover it with half of the vanilla buttercream. After carefully putting the second layer on top, cover the entire cake with the leftover buttercream.
  10. Whip the Frosting and Decorate: Beat the remaining heavy whipping cream until firm peaks form, then beat in the frosting and decorate. To create the desired design, spread the whipped cream icing over the entire cake using a spatula or piping bag.
  11. Decorate with Strawberries: Lastly, use fresh strawberries, sliced or wedged, to adorn your cake. Consider using edible flowers for an added summery touch.

Tips:

  • The cake made from this recipe is moist but dense. Aesthetic appeal and height are enhanced by the strawberry-flavored whipped cream icing and vanilla buttercream filling.
  • For a zesty variation on the vanilla buttercream, feel free to swap out the zest of a lemon or lime. Berries that are in season can also be used as decorations.
  • To guarantee the correct cake pan size and cooking time, the recipe advises against adjusting serving sizes.

low carb dessert in a bowl with leaves

Making this rich and smooth chocolate avocado mousse only requires 4 ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes! Ideal for anyone on a low-carb diet and diabetics.

Why Choose This Recipe?

  • Good Fats: Avocados, also known as “butter fruit,” provide healthy monounsaturated fats that help the mousse have a smooth texture.

  • Easy to Use and Customizable: This recipe, which calls for just a few ingredients, is simple to follow and may be customized to your personal taste.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (or cacao powder for a more intense flavor and added nutrients)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or 1 teaspoon monk fruit sweetener for a lower-carb option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. In a food processor or blender, combine all ingredients.
  2. Blend until creamy and smooth.
  3. Taste and add additional cacao powder, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired level of sweetness or chocolate flavor is achieved. Transfer the mousse into separate serving bowls.
  4. Refrigerate for a minimum of half an hour before serving.

Tips:

  • There is one serving per recipe. To adjust the quantity, all you have to do is multiply the ingredients accordingly.
  • For added taste and texture, top your mousse with chopped nuts, fresh berries, or a dollop of nut butter.
  • Store any leftover mousse in the fridge for up to three to four days in an airtight container.

You may use this recipe to make chocolate icing for low-carb muffins or cupcakes. Add ¼ cup of unsweetened almond milk while blending for a thicker consistency that works well for icing.

Taste this tasty and nutritious chocolate avocado mousse that is low in carbs!
