Instructions:
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Grease a rectangular or square baking pan (typically used for castella cakes) with butter or line it with parchment paper.
- Separate Eggs:
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites into two different mixing bowls.
- Prepare Batter:
- In the bowl with the egg yolks, add almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, salt, almond milk, melted butter (or coconut oil), and almond extract (if using).
- Mix everything together until smooth and well combined.
- Whip Egg Whites:
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This may take a few minutes.
- Combine Batter:
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Fold carefully to maintain the airiness of the whipped whites.
- Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in Oven:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes.
- Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
