This is a simple grain-free cake that is made with a combination of almond flour and coconut flour. I find with Specific Carbohydrate Diet baking that smaller cakes turn out better than big cakes,, which tend to be underdone in the middle.
Usually I make cupcakes, but sometimes it’s nice to have regular cake. I bought a small bundt cake pan to use in my Instant Pot, but it works great for regular baking too.
If you’re looking for a way to treat yourself for a special occasion, this cake is perfect. It’s light and moist and the white chocolate glaze provides just a little extra sweetness.
You can whip this up in not time and is a great use for fresh blueberries that you want to use up before they go bad.
