½ cup brown monkfruit or other low carb sweetener
4 large eggs
2 cups almond flour
¼ cup whey protein powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup sour cream
1 teapoon vanilla extract

"Apple" Layer

1 large zucchini
2 tablespoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter

Crumble Topping

1 cup almond flour
¼ cup brown monkfruit or other low carb sweetener
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter cut into chunks

Instructions

Make the Apple Layer

Trim the ends from the zucchini and peel. Remove any seeds and slice thinly (about ¼ cm).
Heat the butter in a large pan on a medium heat.
Cook the zucchini slices for 2-4 minutes until soft. Set aside to cool.

Make the Cake

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees.
Line a 8 inch spring form cake tin with parchment paper.
In a large bowl whisk the butter and sweetener together until smooth.
Whisk in the eggs one at time.
Add the sour cream and vanilla extract and continue to whisk.
Add the almond flour, protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking power, baking soda and salt.
Whisk until you have a smooth cake batter.

Make the crumble topping

In a medium bowl add the almond flour, monkfruit, cinnamon and butter chunks.
Mix with your hands/finger tips until the mixture looks like chunky breadcrumbs.

Assemble

Spoon the cake batter into the cake tin and spread evenly.
Add the zucchini slices on top in layers.
Scatter the crumble topping on top of the zucchini slices.
Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden and the cake is firm. Check the cake is cooked through with a toothpick.
Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing the cake.
Slice and enjoy!
