INGREDIENTS:

TO MAKE THE COFFEE CAKE:

  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp. sugar-free caramel sauce
  • 2 tbsp. Erythritol or Allulose powder
  • Salt
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • We have to use fine and blanched almond flour for the good texture of the cake as it also offers a delicate nutty taste and a soft, moist texture.

COCONUT FLOUR:

  • Coconut Flour absorbs lots of moisture content and it also helps to give the cake its structure & lightness. We don’t have to use too much coconut flour as they become crumbly or dry.

SWEETENER:

  • Erythritol and Allulose both are keto-friendly sweeteners. We have to use the Allulose to make the caramel as it gives a smooth consistency and the Erythritol will get crystalize occasionally.

BAKING POWDER:

  • It aids the cake to get rise and makes it airy. We always have to use fresh baking powder for the best results.

XANTHAN GUM:

  • We use the xanthan gum to improve the texture and the flexibility of the cake and it is important to utilize in the gluten-free keto baking.

COFFEE POWDER:

  • Coffee or espresso gives caramel a deep, strong flavor in the Twinkie. We have to let it cool and brew vigorously before adding to the batter.

KETO CARAMEL:

  • We have to use a keto-friendly caramel that is created with butter, cream, and Erythritol or Allulose to make the keto dessert.

CREAM CHEESE AND CARAMEL:

  • Cream cheese and heavy cream make the filling indulgent and smooth.
