Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with coconut oil and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
Combine the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Make sure everything is well combined and smooth.
Step 4: Mix it All Together
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
Step 5: Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and enjoy your healthy vanilla cake.

How to Store Refined Sugar-Free Vanilla Cake
Storing your refined sugar-free vanilla cake properly ensures it stays fresh and delicious.
Here’s how I do it:
➤ Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool at room temperature before storing. This prevents condensation, which can make the cake soggy.
➤ Wrap Well: Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap. If the cake is frosted, place it in a cake container instead.
➤ Refrigerate: Keep the wrapped cake in the refrigerator for short-term storage. It stays fresh for up to 5 days.
➤ Freeze: For longer storage, freeze the wrapped cake. It can last up to 3 months in the freezer. When ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge overnight.
➤ Individual Slices: If you prefer, slice the cake and wrap each piece. This way, you can thaw only the amount you need.
