Strawberry Sugar Free Cake Recipe

eggs

Tablespoons (100 grams) sugar sweetener

almond flour

baking powder

water

Tablespoons oil

Vanilla Extract

Meringue Icing

Strawberry jam

Strawberry powder

Prepare all ingredients

Start preparing all of the ingredients. Have your eggs at room temperature and separate egg whites and yolks. Sweetener is best to have powdered for baking as it melts much easier. If you have made our recipes, prepare jam and powder, and make the frosting if you have not. At the same time, heat your oven to 160 Celsius or 320 Fahrenheit. 

Whisk Egg Whites and Egg Yolks

Using your kitchen machine, place egg whites into the bowl and mix until fluffy. Place the bowl aside. Using a second bowl, add egg yolks together with sweetener and whisk. 

Once you whisk your egg yolks, scoop in the egg whites into the bowl and mix on low until combined.

Add the rest of the Ingredients

Add all other ingredients using a spoon while your machine keeps whisking them. 

Pour and Bake

Once your cake batter is thoroughly combined, pour it onto the large cake pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. 

Spread Jam

Make sure your sheet cake is thoroughly cooled before going into the next steps. Make small holes throughout the cake using the back of the spatula or wooden stick. This will help your jam to get directly into the cake to add more moisture and flavor.  Once your holes are all made, cut your sheet cake into half and spread half of the strawberry jam on one half of the cake. Place the other half of the top of the cake to form two layers. 

Extra Jam and Frosting

Spread the rest of the jam on top of the second layer of the cake. On top of that goes meringue frosting. You can either spread it with a spatula or fill our icing bag and frost it. 

Strawberry Powder

Lastly comes our strawberry Powder. Place powder into the sieve or bigger tea sieve, as I have done, and gently powder your whole cake with dehydrated strawberry powder.

Enjoy delicious Strawberry Sugar Free Cake Recipe as a perfect celebration cake for the whole family, be it Valentine's or Mother's day. This fluffy sugar free sponge cake combines layer cake with keto jam, meringue frosting, and homemade strawberry powder, fully low-carb, gluten-free, and diabetic friendly.

This vanilla cake has the most soft, tender crumb and is so easy to put together! Bursting with vanilla flavour, this will be your new go to vanilla cake!

Soft Vanilla Cake

flour (regular all purpose (see note 1 if you want to use cake flour))

cornflour (also known as cornstarch)

½ tsp baking soda

tsp baking powder

(omit

unsalted butter (room temperature)

unflavoured vegetable oil (I use canola)

white granulated sugar

eggs (room temperature)

vanilla essence/extract

tsp white vinegar

buttermilk (room temperature, see note 6

icing sugar (also known as powdered sugar/confectioners sugar)

1½ tbsp milk (heavy

IMPORTANT: For this recipe I would highly recommend using gram measurements, especially for the flour for accurate results. It has a high fat/liquid ratio so slight adjustments to the quantities can throw off the balance of the cake :)

Preheat oven to 165 °C (330°F) with the fan on (see note 5 if you don&#39;t have a fan function) and grease and/or line two 8 inch cake tins (I use my homemade cake release).

In a bowl, sift together your flour, cornflour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Using a whisk or fork, mix until well combined. Set aside.

In another bowl, add in your butter, vegetable oil and sugar. Using an electric mixer (hand or stand mixer are both fine - see note 2), cream together for 2 minutes until light and creamy.

Add in eggs one by one, mixing well in between each addition (about 10-15 seconds between eggs).

Add in your vanilla, vinegar and half a cup of the buttermilk, and mix until well combined. Now set your mixer aside as the remainder of the batter will be finished by hand.

Finish off by adding in half of your premixed dry ingredients to your wet mixture, and gently fold it in with a spatula until just combined. Then add in the remaining 1 cup of buttermilk, and fold it in until just combined. Lastly, add in the remaining dry ingredients and gently fold it into the mixture until just combined. Do not overmix (see note 3).

Distribute the batter evenly into the two 8 inch cake tins, and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Once baked, allow the cake layers to cool in the cake tins for about 15-20 minutes, and then turn them out onto a wire rack to completely cool before frosting with the vanilla buttercream recipe below, or another frosting of your choice.

Vanilla Cake

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add in the icing sugar, butter, vanilla and milk.

Using the paddle attachment, mix on the lowest speed until the ingredients are combined (about a minute), and then turn up the speed to a medium high and mix for a full 10 minutes. Scrape the bowl down half way through.

The frosting is now ready to use.

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (see note 4)

RECIPE: https://cakesbymk.com/recipe/soft-vanilla-cake/

When I say this recipe took me MONTHS to perfect, I mean it! This vanilla cake has the most soft, tender, melt-in-your mouth crumb and is bursting with vanilla flavour. A great base recipe that can be paired with literally any type of frosting and filling!

HOMEMADE CAKE RELEASE: https://cakesbymk.com/recipe/homemade-cake-release/

INGREDIENTS: 

For this recipe I would highly recommend using gram measurements, especially for the flour for accurate results. It has a high fat/liquid ratio so slight adjustments to the quantities can throw off the balance of the cake 🙂

Vanilla Cake
- 2¼ cups (300 g) flour - regular all purpose (see note 1 if you want to use cake flour)
- ¼ cup (25 g) cornflour - also known as cornstarch
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt - omit if using salted butter
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter - room temperature
- ½ cup (105 g) unflavoured vegetable oil - I use canola
- 1⅔ cups (332 g) white granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs - room temperature
- 1¼ tbsp vanilla essence/extract
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1½ cups (337 g) buttermilk - room temperature. See note 3 below if using a homemade buttermilk substitute. 

Bake at 165 °C (329°F) with the fan on. If your oven doesn't have a fan option, then you will need to increase the baking temperature to 175°C (347°F).

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (see note 2 below)
- 1½ cups (340 g) unsalted butter - room temperature
- 3 cups (375 g) icing sugar - also known as powdered sugar/confectioners sugar
- 1½ tsp vanilla essence/extract
- 1½ tbsp milk - heavy or whipping cream okay too

Note 1. You can use cake flour in replacement of the all purpose flour and cornstarch in this recipe (325g total required). 

Note 2. This frosting is an American buttercream so is a ‘sweeter’ frosting, although my recipe does use a lot less icing sugar compared to a regular American buttercream. However, if you still want an even less sweet frosting, I’d recommend a Swiss meringue or French buttercream.

Note 3.  I use store bought buttermilk which is thicker than a homemade substitute. For this recipe, because it uses a lot of buttermilk, a homemade substitute doesn't give the same results. If you are using a homemade version you will need to reduce the amount of buttermilk to about 1 1/4 cups (275g).
