  • 1/3 cup powdered erythritol or preferred sugar-free sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon pistachio extract (optional)

Cream Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered erythritol
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

White Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix almond flour, ground pistachios, erythritol, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Whisk eggs until frothy, then add melted butter, almond milk, vanilla extract, and pistachio extract; mix until smooth.
  4. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet until a smooth batter forms.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake 22–25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  6. Prepare cream filling: beat cream cheese and erythritol until smooth, add vanilla. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks and fold into cream cheese mixture until fluffy.
  7. Slice cooled cake horizontally into two layers. Spread filling on bottom layer and top with second layer.
  8. Prepare glaze: whisk erythritol, heavy cream, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cake.

Notes

  • Enhance pistachio flavor with extra ground pistachios or pistachio extract.
  • Add a chocolate drizzle with sugar-free chocolate for variation.
  • Add citrus: 1 tsp lemon zest to cake batter for brightness.
  • Make cupcakes: divide batter into muffin liners, bake 15–18 minutes.
