  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup butter (1 stick), softened
  • 1 ½ cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Raspberry Filling

  • 6 oz raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons Swerve Sweetener
  • 2 tablespoons water

  • 2 cups Swerve Sweeteenr, confectioner's sugar

  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

To Make the Sponge Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. In a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients for the sponge cake and mix until well combined. 

  3. Spray a cookie tray with oil and pour in the batter. Bake for 15 - 17 minutes or until a toothpick comes away clean  in the center.

  4. Let cool completely before making into cake layers. Use a cookie cutter or large glass to cut out the cake layers and set aside.

To make the raspberry filling.

  1. Place the raspberries, Swerve and water in a sauce pan. Cook until it starts to thicken. Let cool then refrigerate so it will continue to thicken.

To make the buttercream icing

  1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and Swerve sweetener. Then add in the vanilla and heavy cream. Beat for 5 minutes then set aside.

To assemble the cake

  1. Take one cake layer and add the jam on top. On another cake layer, add the buttercream icing. Place both layers together like a sandwich and set on a tray. Sprinkle more confectioners sugar on top if you wish (optional).

  2. NOTE*** This makes a lot of icing. You may want to cut the ingredients amounts in half or find another use for it.
