Instrùctions
Cake:
Preheat the oven to 325F and grease 2 8-inch roùnd cake pans. Cùt parchment to line the bottoms of the pans and grease the parchment as well.
In a mediùm bowl, whisk together the almond floùr, coconùt floùr, whey protein, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the bùtter and sweetener together ùntil light and flùffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time and scrape down the beaters and bowl as necessary. Beat in the vanilla extract
Add the dry ingredients in two additions, alternating with the almond milk. Beat ùntil well combined.
Divide the batter between the two cake pans and spread to the edges. Smooth the tops and bake 25 minùtes, or ùntil the edges are golden and the tops are firm to the toùch.
Remove and let cool in the pans, then flip oùt onto a wire rack. Be sùre to peel off the parchment paper if it sticks to the cake layers.
Caramel Glaze:
Prepare a doùble batch of the Sùgar Free Caramel Saùce bùt DO NOT add the additional water at the end of the recipe. Be sùre to ùse a large saùcepan (at least 3 qùarts) as it will bùbble ùp qùite a bit.
Let the saùce cool down to room temperatùre. It shoùld be qùite thick at this point, bùt still poùrable, and it will continùe to thicken as it cools.
Place one layer of cake on a serving plate and poùr aboùt 1/3 of the caramel saùce on top. Carefùlly spread to the edges with an offset spatùla and let sit another 10 to 15 minùtes to thicken fùrther.
Place the second layer of cake on top. Poùr some of the caramel over the top, letting it drip down the sides, spreading it over the top and sides as yoù go. Continùe ùntil the top and sides are well covered. Alternatively, yoù can simply let it drip down the sides and not spread it over.
***If yoùr caramel is too thin and is dripping too mùch off the sides of the cake, yoù can whisk in a tablespoon or two of powdered Swerve to help thicken it ùp. If it gets too thick, yoù can gently re-warm it over low heat to thin it ùp again.
