Ingredients
  

For the Keto Shortcake
  • 2 cups almond flour fine, blanched
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ⅓ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs room temperature
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Strawberry Filling
  • 1½ cups fresh strawberries sliced
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
For the Whipped Cream
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowls (medium and large)
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Electric mixer or whisk
  • 1 Rubber spatula
  • 1 8-inch round cake pan or baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Cooling rack
  • 1 Knife and cutting board
  • 1 Hand mixer (for whipped cream)

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Shortcake Batter
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper or grease lightly with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a thick but smooth batter forms.
Step 2: Bake the Shortcake
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  2. Bake for 22–26 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Step 3: Prepare the Strawberries
  1. While the cake cools, add sliced strawberries, sweetener, and lemon juice to a bowl.
  2. Gently stir and let sit for 15–20 minutes. This allows the strawberries to release their juices and form a syrup.
Step 4: Make the Whipped Cream
  1. In a cold bowl, add heavy cream, sweetener, and vanilla extract.
  2. Beat with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat.
Step 5: Assemble the Shortcake
  1. Slice the cooled cake horizontally or into individual portions.
  2. Layer cake, strawberries, and whipped cream. Repeat if making layered servings.
  3. Serve immediately for best texture.
