INGREDIENTS NOTES:

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • We can use the superfine, blanched almond flour to make the light & moist cake. But we should not have to use the almond meal because it may cause the cake to become dense or grainy.

COCONUT FLOUR:

  • We can use the small quantity of coconut flour to make this cake since it absorbs moisture and adds structure. Almond flour should not be used in place of 1:1.

ERYTHRITOL POWDER:

  • We can use the Erythritol powder or monk fruit sweetener for the cake to prevent graininess, and for the whipped topping.

MELTED BUTTER:

  • We can use the melted, slightly chilled, unsalted butter. We can also use the coconut oil to make the cake dairy-free.

ALMOND MILK:

  • Almond milk is used to make this cake, and it is low in carbohydrates. You could also utilize any unsweetened nut milk as a substitute of this milk.

WHIPPING CREAM:

  • We use the heavy cream for the icing of this flag cake. We have to make sure it’s cold for the best volume.

BLUEBERRIES & STRAWBERRIES:

  • We use fresh strawberries and blueberries for the flag design. We can thoroughly rinse and pat dry before adding whipped cream to prevent sogginess.
