Keto Lemon Layer Cake with Lemon Curd and Mascarpone Frosting[edit]

This is a delicious and refreshing Keto friendly dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The tangy lemon curd and creamy mascarpone frosting make this cake a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients[edit]

For the Cake[edit]

2 cups Almond Flour
1/2 cup Coconut Flour
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
1 1/2 cups Erythritol
4 large Eggs
1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
1 tablespoon Lemon Zest
1/2 cup Almond Milk

For the Lemon Curd[edit]

1/2 cup Lemon Juice
1/2 cup Erythritol
4 large Eggs
1 tablespoon Lemon Zest
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter

For the Mascarpone Frosting[edit]

2 cups Mascarpone Cheese
1 cup Heavy Cream
1/2 cup Erythritol
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions[edit]

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch cake pans.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the butter and erythritol until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients and almond milk until well combined. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
While the cakes are cooling, make the lemon curd. In a saucepan, combine the lemon juice, erythritol, eggs, and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until smooth. Let cool.
For the frosting, beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Once the cakes are cool, spread a layer of lemon curd on one of the cakes. Top with the second cake and spread the mascarpone frosting on top and around the sides of the cake.
