Ingredients
  

Almond Lemon Cakes

  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 large egg
  • ¼ cup erythritol
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened carton coconut milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • ¼ teaspoon liquid stevia
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 teaspoon red food coloring

Sandwich Icing

  • ¼ cup erythritol powdered
  • 4 ounce cream cheese softened
  • 4 tablespoon butter softened
  • 2 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon red food coloring

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 335F. Put a sifter on top of a large mixing bowl. Add almond flour,coconut flour, cinnamon, salt and baking soda.
  • Sift the ingredients until everything is fine and powdery.
  • In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs, then add erythritol, lemon juice, coconut milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, liquid stevia, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Microwave the butter for the cakes for about 30 seconds.
  • Add butter to the wet ingredients and then add food coloring.
  • Stir the ingredients well, making sure that the eggs are thoroughly broken.
  • Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a hand mixer. Do this until you end up with a fluffy looking batter.
  • Divide the batter between the holes in a non-stick muffin top pan. (You may also find this sold as a Whoopie Pie pan.) Spread the mixture in each muffin top mold.
  • Bake for 17-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out dry. You just want to have a slight browning around the edges.
  • Remove from the muffin top pan and let cool on a cooling rack for 5 minutes.
  • Slice the cakes in half using a bread knife. Bring some additional butter to a boil in a pan.
  • Add your muffin tops and fry on each side for about 1-2 minutes. You want to get these browned.
  • Let the muffin tops cool while you make the icing.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the butter (for the icing) and cream cheese.
  • Powder the erythritol for the icing in a spice grinder. Let settle a few moments before removing the lid.
  • Cream the butter and cream cheese together until smooth.
  • Add heavy cream to the icing and continue mixing until smooth again.
  • Add powdered erythritol and red food coloring, then continue mixing. Continue adding food coloring until desired color is achieved.
  • Spread icing between 2 pieces of almond lemon cake like a sandwich. Garnish with lemon zest and pistachios.
