- 6 Oz. Cream Cheese
- 1/4 Cup Erythritol
- 1/4 tsp. Liquid Stevia
- 1/4 Cup Unflavored Protein Powder
- 2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp. Cream of Tartar
- FILLING
- 1 1/2 Cup Almond Flour
- 1 Tbsp. Cinnamon
- 1/2 Stick Butter
- 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup (recipe here)
- 1/4 Cup Erythritol
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325F. If you’re using a glass baking dish, use 300F.
- Seperate the eggs from the egg whites for all 5 eggs. Cream together the egg yolks with 1/4 Cup Erythritol and 1/4 tsp. Liquid Stevia.
- Once the egg yolks are creamed, add 6 Oz. Cream cheese and 1/4 Cup Unflavored Protein Powder. Mix this together well until a thick batter forms.
- Beat your egg whites together with the 1/4 tsp. Cream of Tartar until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, doing 1/2 of the egg whites first and then the other half. Pour the batter into a round cake pan.
- Mix together all of the “Filling” ingredients: 1 1/2 Cup Almond Flour, 1 Tbsp. Cinnamon, 1/2 Stick Butter, 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup (recipe here), and 1/4 Cup Erythritol. This should form a “dough” of sorts. Take half and rip off little pieces to top the cake – push the pieces down if they don’t sink on their own.
