Ingredients

For the fresh blueberry orange compote:

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoons fresh orange zest
  • ¼ cup Swerve sugar substitute or your favorite brand of erythritol sweetener

To make the almond cake:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • cup Swerve sugar substitute, or your favorite brand
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup fresh orange juice
  • ¼ cup melted butter, I use salted
  • 1 teaspoon pure almond extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
    Prepare a 9" round cake pan by spraying it liberally with baking spray or coconut spray. Set aside.

To make the fresh blueberry orange compote;

  • Add the blueberries, sugar substitute and orange zest in a medium saucepan. Simmer on medium-low for 15 minutes (stirring occasionally) until the sauce thickens and becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and cool.

To make the golden almond cake;

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan powder, cornstarch, sugar substitute, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, orange juice, melted butter, and almond extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir well to combine thoroughly.
  • Spoon the batter in an even layer in the prepared cake pan.
    Bake in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and cool on a cooling rack for 30 minutes. Carefully turn the cake out of the pan and onto a serving plate. Cool completely.
  • Spoon and spread the cooled blueberry orange compote over the cooled cake and garnish with additional orange zest, if desired.
    Chill before serving, or serve at room temperature.
