Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup coconut oil, in solid form (not melted). **If you prefer butter, it’s still 1/2 cup, softened**
  • ½ cup Erythritol or Xylitol sugar-substitute
  • 4 eggs, large
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • Zest of 1 orange (about 1 1/2 tsp)
  • 2 tbsp fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 325-degrees. Spray an 8×8″ cake pan with cooking spray, including sides. Then line the bottom with parchment paper. We want to avoid a sticky situation.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add Almond Flour, Coconut Flour, Salt & Baking Powder. Give it a quick whisk & set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the coconut oil, vanilla & Erythritol (sugar substitute). Beat with your hand mixer until it’s lighter & fluffier.
  • Next, add ricotta, orange zest, orange juice and 1 egg. Beat to incorporate (about 1 minute).
  • Add dry ingredients & remaining 3 eggs, in thirds: Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients and 1 egg to the wet. Mix until incorporated. Add the next 1/3 and another egg. Mix again. Now the final 1/3 and last egg. Mix.
  • Fold in the fresh raspberries. Pour into prepared pan, spread to make it even.
  • Bake 50-minutes. Remove. Allow to cool in the pan 15-minutes. Turn onto wire rack to continue cooling. That’s it!!

To serve

  • Sprinkle each slice with a few fresh raspberries. I personally like to dress each piece with a small dollop of whipped cream, fresh raspberries & twist of orange peel – just because it’s pretty and festive ;-).
