Diabetic-Friendly Cake – A Melt-in-Your-Mouth Delight

 



Diabetic-Friendly Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cake Recipe

Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

  • 1–2 tablespoons powdered erythritol

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • ⅓–½ cup powdered erythritol (adjust to taste)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional for texture)

  • ½ cup fresh raspberries or strawberries (optional, chopped)

Optional Topping:

  • Extra whipped cream

  • Toasted coconut flakes

  • A few fresh berries

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix until it resembles damp sand.

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 8-inch springform pan.

Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Allow it to cool completely.

2. Make the Creamy Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.

Add powdered sweetener and vanilla extract. Beat again until fully combined and silky.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. This creates the light, airy texture that melts in your mouth.

If using coconut or berries, fold them in carefully at the end.

3. Assemble the Cake

Spread the filling evenly over the cooled crust.

Smooth the top with a spatula.

Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours (or overnight) until fully set.

4. Garnish & Serve

Before serving, top with:

  • A swirl of fresh whipped cream

  • A sprinkle of toasted coconut

  • A few berries for color and natural sweetness

Slice with a warm knife for clean, smooth cuts.
