Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate pastry cream and refrigerate it until needed, ideally making it a day ahead.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare the cake pans with parchment and baking spray.
- Mix the wet ingredients (eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, stevia glycerite) in one bowl and the dry ingredients (almond flour, peanut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, xanthan gum) in another.
- Cream the butter and sweetener together until light and fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time.
- Combine the dry and wet ingredients in alternating batches, mixing until well incorporated.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake at 400°F for 8 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cakes completely before assembling.
- For the whipped cream, mix peanut butter, sweetener, and a portion of the whipped cream until smooth, then gradually add the remaining cream and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the cake by slicing the tops off the cakes, layering with whipped cream and chocolate pastry cream, and frosting the outside with peanut butter whipped cream.
