Instructions
For the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease three 8-inch cake pans with cooking spray, then line with parchment paper and grease again.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and Swerve sweetener together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the almond milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans before removing and assembling.
For the Lemon Curd Filling:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, egg yolks, and Swerve sweetener.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the curd to prevent a skin from forming.
- Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
For the Lemon Butter Frosting:
