Cream Cheese Frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup allulose or other low carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon orange zest, finely chopped
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan with a little coconut oil or cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the butter and brown monk fruit until smooth.
Whisk in the eggs and vanilla.
Add the coconut flour, baking powder, salt and spices. Whisk well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients. Add the coconut milk for a smoother batter (this may be optional).
Gently fold in the cranberries into the batter. This will add a delightful tartness and bursts of flavor to your cake.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. The cake is done when it's firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Afterward, carefully remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This prevents condensation from forming on the bottom of the cake.
Frost the Cake
Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the frosting evenly over the top using a spatula.
Optional decorations - fresh cranberries and desiccated coconut.
Slice and serve!
Serves 8 slices.
This could be made without the cream cheese frosting or another frosting of your choice.
