Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 6 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 cup granulated erythritol or sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or sweetener of choice
  • 4 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks

For the Topping:

  • Sugar-free caramel sauce (optional)
  • Toasted sliced almonds (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2: Whip the Egg Whites

  1. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy.
  2. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add the granulated erythritol, 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

Step 3: Mix the Cake Batter

  1. In another mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  2. Gently fold in the almond flour and mascarpone cheese until well combined.
  3. Carefully fold in the whipped heavy cream until no streaks remain.

Step 4: Combine the Batter

  1. Gradually fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will deflate the egg whites and result in a denser cake batter.

Step 5: Bake the Cake

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Add Toppings (Optional)

  1. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle it with sugar-free caramel sauce and sprinkle toasted sliced almonds on top for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
  2. Slice and serve the Keto Cloud Cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream for a truly decadent treat.
