Sugar Free Strawberry Sheet Cake

This is such a fun, lightened-up recipe for all the feel good treats. Nobody will know it’s blood sugar-friendly and it’s super duper moist too. It’s a hit every time and so refreshing. 

INGRIDIENTS

1 cup almond flour

3/4 cup coconut flour

2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

3 eggs

1/4 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup fresh strawberry puree (1 cup, abt 6-7 blended or mashed fresh strawberries, stems removed)

1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt

1/4 cup almond milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup granulated sweetener, used monk fruit/erythritol or monk fruit/allulose blend works well. 

Optional Garnish :

Desired fresh strawberries (sliced or whole)

STEPS

1)Over med/low heat, in a small sauce pan simmer the strawberries until liquid is reduced half. I mashed them as they cooked and let simmer while stirring about 10 min. This concentrates the flavor and removes excess water, preventing a soggy cake.

2)While the berries are simmering, in a large bowl, add flours, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.

3)In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, softened butter, yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and cooked strawberry puree

4)Mix with a mixer on low until well combined.

5)Add granulated sweetener and mix on low/medium until combined. 

6)Add flour mixture and mix until all incorporated. 

7)Pour into a greased 13 x 9 glass dish and bake at 325° for 40-45 minutes. It may get darker than expected 

8)While baking, make Cream Cheese Icing. 

Cream Cheese Icing

1 - 8 oz block 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened

1/2 tsp vanilla extract 

1/4 cup confectioners sugar replacement 

1 cup freeze dried strawberries, mashed into crumbs or blended (I put in a baggie and mashed with a rolling pin)

1)In a glass bowl microwave cream cheese 30 seconds if not softened yet. 

2)Add vanilla, sweetener, and freeze dried strawberries crumbs. Stir, whisk, or mix with a mixer until desired icing consistency is achieved. Mine took 2 minutes. 

3)Once your cake has cooled, add icing and top with sliced fresh strawberries, if desired. I love to leave the green stems on. Slice into 12 square pieces and store in the fridge, covered. Good for a week.
