Ingredients
Cake:
- 1/2 cup ghee, room temp (butter or coconut oil works)
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup agave nectar
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Coconut Whip:
- 4 cans (15 oz. cans) unsweetened coconut cream
- 1/3 cup agave nectar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Chill the cans of coconut cream overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a bowl, use an electric handheld mixer to mix together the ghee, eggs, agave, and vanilla.
- Add the almond flour, coconut flour, sea salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix everything together until combined.
- Grease your circular pans and then divide the batter between them.
- Bake for 12 – 15 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
- Set aside for about 10 minutes, then cut into about 1/2 inch cubes.
- While the cake is baking, place the chilled coconut cream into a standing electric mixer. I prefer a standing electric mixer because you can just turn it on and your arms don’t get tired 🙂
- Turn on the electric mixer and whip it for about 3 minutes.
- Add the agave nectar (honey or maple syrup works too), vanilla bean powder, and pink Himalayan sea salt.
- Continue to whip for another 2-3 minutes until creamed together.
- Prep the strawberries: cut about 6 strawberries in half, leaving the top stems on. These will go on the very top of the trifle.
- Cut the stems off the remaining strawberries and slice each strawberry in thirds lengthwise.
- Add the layers to the trifle dish, alternating between cake cubes, coconut whip and strawberries. Top with the stemmed strawberries. The pop of green will add a nice finish.
- Keep chilled until ready to enjoy!
Tips
- nutrition facts below are just for the cake and strawberries. the website I use to compute the nutrition didn’t have the coconut cream ingredient, so make sure to check your labels and add the nutrition information for the coconut whip cream.
