Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with coconut oil.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and xylitol together until smooth. Add in the melted coconut oil, applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until everything is fully incorporated.
-
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
-
Fold in the chopped walnuts and dried cranberries until evenly distributed in the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
-
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cake has cooled, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate (if using) in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water or in short intervals in the microwave.
-
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the cake in a decorative pattern and let it set before serving. Enjoy your Sugar-Free Christmas Cake with a cup of hot cocoa or your favorite herbal tea!
