With this recipe, you can enjoy the rich flavors of St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake while keeping it Paleo and Keto-friendly. It's a delicious treat that won't break your diet, with a gooey cream cheese filling held within a rich almond and coconut flour crust that's sweetened with erythritol.
Ingredients: For the crust:. 2 cups almond flour. 1/4 cup coconut flour. 1/4 cup powdered erythritol. 1/2 cup melted ghee or coconut oil. 1 large egg. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. For the filling:. 8 ounces cream cheese, softened. 1/2 cup powdered erythritol. 2 large eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/4 cup ghee or coconut oil, melted. For topping optional:. Powdered erythritol, for dusting.
Instructions: Set the oven temperature to 175C 350F. Butter a 9 x 9-inch baking pan. For the crust, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, and powdered erythritol in a mixing bowl. Combine the egg, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil or ghee with the dry ingredients. Stir to form a dough. Evenly press the dough into the bottom of the baking dish that has been prepared. Beat cream cheese and powdered erythritol together until smooth in a different bowl. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until thoroughly blended. Add the coconut oil or melted ghee and stir until smooth. Over the crust in the baking dish, distribute the filling evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is still jiggly but the edges are set. Before slicing into squares, let the cake cool fully in the pan. If desired, dust with erythritol powder before serving.
