moist vanilla cake
Adapted from: http://joepastry.com/2010/chocolate_layer_cake_recipe/
Servings: 8 cupcakes OR 1 small cake
215g water (OR cream)
270g powdered erythritol or xylitol
150g powdered isomalt or sorbitol (OR you could sub this for more erythritol to make it lower-carb, but the cake will not turn out quite as moist)
1 teaspoon salt
170g unsalted butter
1 tsp. guar gum (optional)
480g eggs (8 large eggs, 60g each)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
215g almond flour
80g coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tsp. xanthan gum (optional)
Preheat the oven to 175C/350F.
Butter your baking pan or molds, then dust with a thin layer of coconut flour. (Dump out the excess).
In a large bowl, mix together the water, sweeteners, salt and butter. Melt in the microwave until very warm but not hot (30 seconds).
Let the liquid mixture cool down a bit, then whisk in the guar gum and mix thoroughly.
Next mix in the egg and vanilla until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour and baking powder. Sift this mixture over the egg-liquid mixture and mix together thoroughly until fully incorporated.
Divide equally between your baking mold/prepared cake pan and tap a few times on the counter/table to pop any large bubbles.
Bake for 20-25 minutes for cupcakes, 35-40 minutes for a small cake.

Nutrition Info:
Please note that I used MyFitnessPal (a FREE app) to calculate this info, so it may not be 100% accurate, AND I don't think it tracks net carbs, so a portion of the carbs listed may be processed by your body as fiber and NOT actually absorbed as energy.
net carbs = total carbs - dietary fiber (dietary fiber is what makes up about half of most sugar-alcohols, as well as most of the carbs in coconut flour)
