Pineapple-Mango Layer Cake

Prep Time 50 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • ½ Pineapple
  • ½ cup sliced Mangos
  • 1 cup Whole Grain Almond Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 6 large Eggs (Whole)
  • 2 tsp Pure Almond Extract
  • ¼ cup Unsalted Butter
  • ½ cup Coconut Cream
  • 13 tbsp Xylitol

Instructions
 

  • For cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two 8-inch-round cake pans with parchment paper, grease and dust with almond flour.
  • Core the pineapple (cut off green outsides) and peel the mango. Dice all or leave about half of the pineapple in half-rings and half of the mango in slices for a decorative top; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder and salt. Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Set yolks aside.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat whites until frothy, about 3 minutes. Slowly add ¾ cup (12 tbsp) xylitol and continue beating until stiff, but not dry, peaks form, about 4 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together yolks, almond extract and melted butter. Slowly pour yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites and continue mixing on medium speed until yolks are combined, about 1 minute.
  • In three additions, gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture using a rubber spatula.
  • Divide batter in prepared pans and smooth tops.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
  • Cool on wire rack for 5 minutes, then turn out to cool completely.
  • To assemble: In a small bowl with an electric mixer on medium, whip coconut cream with 1 tbsp xylitol until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
  • Place one cake layer on a serving plate.
  • Spread half the coconut cream over cake and place diced pineapple and mango pieces all around.
  • Place second layer over coconut cream. Top with remaining coconut cream and decorate top with pieces or sliced pineapple and mango.
  • For a decorative top: Starting at the edge of the cake, arrange fruit in concentric circles, alternating pineapple and mango slices.
  • Cut into 8 servings.
