This cake roll is a great way to enjoy the flavors of tiramisu without feeling guilty. This dessert is a light almond flour cake flavored with espresso and rum and filled with a creamy mascarpone mixture. It will satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping you on track with your ketogenic lifestyle.
Ingredients: 4 large eggs. 1/2 cup almond flour. 1/4 cup powdered erythritol. 2 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened. 1 tsp baking powder. 1/4 cup brewed espresso, cooled. 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese. 1/2 cup heavy cream. 2 tbsp powdered erythritol. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1 tbsp rum extract. 2 tbsp dark chocolate shavings optional.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Add almond flour, powdered erythritol, cocoa powder, and baking powder to the eggs. Mix until well combined. Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. Once baked, let the cake cool for a few minutes. Then carefully roll it up with the parchment paper and let it cool completely. In another bowl, mix the cooled espresso with the rum extract. In a separate bowl, whip the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Carefully unroll the cooled cake and brush the espresso mixture over the surface. Spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the cake. Roll the cake back up, without the parchment paper. Optional: Sprinkle dark chocolate shavings over the top. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. Slice and enjoy!
