INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- This flour is a keto and gluten-free flour. It has low-carb content and adds a slightly nutty flavor in the cake. We have to be sure to use the fine almond flour to make the smooth texture of this cake. Avoid using the almond meal as it makes the texture rough.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- It helps to provide the structure in the cake. Add the exact measurement of the coconut flour, as it is highly absorbent. It also adds a slight sweet taste to the baking. Don’t use the half & half quantity with almond flour, as it makes the dry cake layer.
ERYTHRITOL:
- Erythritol is a keto sweetener. It is used to sweeten the cream layer and cake. Use the Erythritol in powder form, as it blends smoothly without causing a grainy texture.
VANILLA ESSENCE:
- Vanilla essence adds the warm taste and aroma. A small quantity is enough to add to the cake and cream layer. Use the caramel or almond essence to slightly alter the flavor profiles.

Can I make this parfait with store-bought keto cake?

Will we use coconut flour instead?
