Ingredients
For the Cake
- 4 eggs separated
- 1/3 cup heavy cream or cashew cream, or coconut cream for dairy-free
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon stevia glycerite
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup okara powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum
Whipped Cream
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream or 2 cans coconut cream for dairy-free (refrigerated overnight)
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon stevia glycerite
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
To Decorate
- 1 kiwi peeled and sliced thin
- 3 strawberries sliced thin
- 4 blackberries halved
Instructions
For the Cake
- Preheat the oven to 300ºF and set 3, 6-inch silicon cake pans on a rimmed baking sheet. Set aside.
- Whisk together the yolks, cream, vanilla, stevia, and salt until smooth. Add the okara and baking powder and whisk until evenly combined. Set aside
- Beat the egg whites and xanthan gum to stiff peaks.
- Whisk a third of the whites into the reserved batter to lighten it. Then fold in the remaining whites in 2 additions until evenly mixed.
- Divide the batter between the 3 pans and bake at 300ªF for 30 minutes, or until lightly golden and the cakes just spring back when lightly touched. Let cool for 5 minutes and then turn out of pans and place onto cooling racks to cool completely.
For the Cream
- Add the cream, stevia, vanilla, salt, and xanthan gum to a bowl and beat for 2-5 minutes, or until it becomes light and fluffy and doubles in volume. Adjust sweetener to taste.
To Decorate
- Place a cake round onto a serving plate. Add whipped cream and spread evenly over top. Place a second cake round on top and repeat coating with cream. Top with final cake round. Frost the entire cake with the remaining cream.
- Layer slices of fruit over top and serve. Best eaten the same day the cake is assembled.
Notes
- If using coconut cream, chill all mixing equipment for 10 minutes before whipping the coconut cream.
- Open the can of coconut cream without inverting or shaking it.
- Transfer all coconut cream solids to the bowl for mixing, discarding any watery layer at the bottom of the can. Continue with the cream as in the main directions.
