Print Recipe

US Customary - Metric

Ingredients

6 medium eggs separated
⅓ cup coconut flour
½ cup monkfruit sweetener or other low carb sweetener
2 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
1-2 teaspoons red food colouring
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder

Filling

8 oz cream cheese softened
¼ cup monkfruit sweetener or other low carb sweetener
1 ½ cups cream heavy
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Make the sponge

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees
Grease and line a rectangle baking tin ( 9 x 13 inch, 22.9cm x 33cm) with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
In another medium bowl, beat the egg yolks, vanilla and monkfruit together.
Add the coconut flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and red food colouring. Mix well and add any additional colouring to get the shade of red you want.
Gently fold in the egg whites until you have an even coloured batter.
Pour the cake batter into the baking tin and smooth evenly.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until firm.
Remove the baking tin from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Put a large piece of parchment paper on your countertop and place the baking tin on the parchment paper, sponge facing down. Remove the tin from the sponge.
Using the parchment paper on the top of the sponge, gently roll up the cake. This is to keep the sponge in the correct shape before adding the filling.
Set aside to cool.

Make the Filling

Whisk the cream cheese and the monkfruit sweetener in a medium bowl until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and the cream. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and thick enough to spread.

To Assemble

Gently unroll the cake, remove the top layer of parchment paper and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the sponge.
Using the outer layer of parchment paper roll up the sponge again.
Trim the edges for a neater sponge.
Slice, eat and enjoy!
