Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Pan:
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper, making sure it covers the bottom and sides.
Make the Crust:
In a bowl, combine melted butter, almond flour, sugar substitute, baking powder, salt, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until a smooth dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake the Crust:
Bake the crust for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly while preparing the filling.
Prepare the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add the powdered sugar substitute and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy. Then, add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Assemble the Cake:
Pour the filling over the pre-baked crust and spread evenly with a spatula. Return the pan to the oven. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Cool and Serve:
Let the cake cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar substitute before serving.
