Let's Get Baking!

Ready to make your own whole foods berry chantilly cake? Here's what you'll need:

For the Cake:

- 2 cups almond flour - 1/4 cup arrowroot powder - 1/2 tsp baking soda - 1/4 tsp salt - 1/4 cup honey - 2 eggs, separated - 1/4 cup maple syrup - 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Berry Compote:

- 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen) - 1 tbsp honey - 1 tbsp water

For the Chantilly Cream:

- 1 cup heavy cream - 1 tbsp honey - 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping:

- Fresh berries - Powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, arrowroot powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the honey, egg yolks, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
6. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, being careful not to deflate them.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. While the cake is baking, make the berry compote. Combine the berries, honey, and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries have broken down and the mixture has thickened.
10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once the cake is cool, make the chantilly cream. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then add the honey and vanilla extract. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
12. To assemble the cake, slice it horizontally into two layers. Spread the berry compote over one layer, then spoon the chantilly cream on top. Place the second layer on top of the cream and dust with powdered sugar (if using).
13. Top with fresh berries and serve immediately. Enjoy!
