Ingredients

• Chocolate Layer:
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup sugar-free sweetener (like erythritol)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• Vanilla Layer:
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup sugar-free sweetener (like erythritol)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• Strawberry Layer:
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup sugar-free sweetener (like erythritol)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, powdered
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• Decoration:
• Fresh berries of choice (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans.
2. Chocolate Layer: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, sugar-free sweetener, and baking powder. Add the eggs, almond milk, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully combined. Pour the batter into one of the prepared cake pans and spread evenly.
3. Vanilla Layer: Repeat the same mixing process as the chocolate layer, omitting the cocoa powder. Pour the batter into the second prepared cake pan.
4. Strawberry Layer: Again, repeat the mixing process, incorporating the freeze-dried strawberry powder with the dry ingredients before combining with the wet. Pour the batter into the third prepared cake pan.
5. Bake all three layers in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before assembling.
6. To assemble, place the chocolate layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Top with a layer of your favorite sugar-free frosting or whipped cream. Repeat with the vanilla and strawberry layers.
7. Decorate with fresh berries, arranging them artfully on top of the cake for a fresh and elegant finish.

Helpful Tips

• If you’re new to baking, make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
• You can substitute almond flour with coconut flour, but adjust the quantity as coconut flour is more absorbent.
• Feel free to use any sugar-free sweetener that you prefer, keeping in mind the sweetness intensity may vary.

Storage Instructions

Store your Sugar-Free Neapolitan Cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. If you need to keep it longer, you can freeze the individual layers separately for up to a month and assemble the cake when ready to serve. Thaw the layers at room temperature before frosting and decorating.

Pairings and Complementary Dishes

This delightful cake pairs beautifully with a cup of herbal tea or a frothy latte. For a more decadent treat, serve alongside a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream. Additionally, a fresh fruit salad can complement the cake’s rich flavors, providing a light, refreshing contrast.
