Keto / Low carb
This simple, juicy and fluffy coconut cake with mastic is a perfect dessert for a ketogenic and low carb diet.
I have tried several variations for a coconut cake until I achieve the recipe that satisfies me in terms of taste and texture since most of them are dry and crumbly.
Finally, the recipe for the Paradise Coconut Cake is found!
It is so fragrant, tasty and juicy like syrupy, without containing any dairy!
The recipe is so easy that you don't need any special skills in the kitchen to make it.

1 Preheat the oven at 180°C (conventional).

7 Add the coconut milk and beat on low speed for a while.
8 Combine the yolk mixture and dry ingredients mixture, continuing beating with the mixer.
9 Gradually add the meringue, stirring lightly with a fork or a silicone spatula.
The mixture needs the air of the meringue.
It's better to gently fold the mixture until incorporated.
10 Pour the mixture into the cake form and smooth the surface.
You can also use this mixture to make cake bases. In this case you have to divide and bake in 2 forms, adjusting the baking time.
11 Bake in the penultimate oven position for about 55-70 minutes, depending on the oven.
Towards the end check with the toothpick method.
12 After baking, let the cake for another 5 minutes in the baking pan and then place on a serving platter until completely cool.
13 Sprinkle with powdered sweetener (that's optional).

*Notes:
• Golden flaxseed flour can be replaced with double the amount of golden (or brown) flaxseed meal (this may change the color of the dessert. • Bamboo fiber flour can be replaced in the same amount of whey protein powder.
