Description

My take on a classic Italian Cream Cake but with out all the sugar! Delicious taste and eye appeal!


Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 2 1/2 cups of almond flour (I used almond meal from Trader Joe’s)
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 sticks of butter
  • 1 cup of 0% Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup of almond milk
  • 1/4 cup and 2 tsp of THM Sweet Blend (if you don’t have this you can use Truvia, or Swerve or Xylitol but you will need more than 1/4 cup. Try 1/2 cup for Truvia and Swerve, maybe a cup or more for Xylitol. I have only tried the THM Sweet Blend with this but I think it will easily adapt.)
