  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups Almond Flour
  • 3 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup Swerve confectioners sugar substitute (for batter)

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Softened Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt

Icing

  • 1 cup Swerve Confectioner's Sugar Substitute
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Heavy Whipping Cream (as needed, approximately 2-3 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare it for baking the donut cake.
  2. Cream butter and sugar substitute: Beat together the softened butter and 1/2 cup of Swerve confectioners sugar substitute until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.
  3. Combine all ingredients: Add the eggs, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, heavy whipping cream, and plain Greek yogurt into the butter mixture. Blend until everything is well combined and forms a smooth batter.
  4. Prepare the bakeware and bake: Grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cake is browned on top and fully cooked through (a toothpick inserted should come out clean).
  5. Cool the cake: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature to ensure the icing adheres properly and the texture firms up.
  6. Make the icing: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Swerve confectioner's sugar substitute with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add heavy whipping cream, one tablespoon at a time, stirring continuously until you reach your desired icing consistency.
  7. Decorate and serve: Pipe the prepared icing over the cooled donut cake. Slice the cake into 8 servings and enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with sugar substitute.
  • Use a toothpick test to check cake doneness; it should come out clean without batter.
  • Adjust the heavy whipping cream amount in the icing for a thicker or thinner consistency depending on preference.
  • This cake is best served at room temperature or slightly chilled.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
