Bábovka
Bàbovka is a traditional Czech vanilla/chocolate cake baked in a bundt pan. This cake is enriched with eggs making a beautifully tender coffee cake. Part of the batter is mixed with cocoa for a delicious and stunning marbled effect. The zest of a lemon and orange lend a beautiful floral quality to this dessert.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup lupin flour
- 5 eggs separated
- 3/4 cup monk fruit powdered
- 3/4 cup or butter or butter flavored coconut oil, melted and cooled for dairy-free
- 2/3 cup coconut cream at room temperature (or heavy cream, if not dairy free)
- zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and spray a bundt pan with coconut oil and set aside.
- Whisk the yolks and monk fruit until the mixture lightens, doubles in size, and becomes pale, about 10 minutes. Then, slowly add in the oil, cream, vanilla, salt and zest.
- Combine flours and baking powder in a bowl and whisk to combine. Stir into the egg yolk mixture to form the batter.
- Whip the whites to stiff peaks then whisk 1/3 of the whites into the batter – you don’t have to be careful with this – it’s to lighten the batter. Then carefully fold in the remaining whites.
- Pour 2/3 of the lightened batter into the greased mold. Sprinkle the cocoa powder over the remaining 1/3 batter and careful fold to combine. Pour this last third into the mold on top of the first layer without mixing the two.
- Bake at 350ºF for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then invert cake onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
