- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

For the Frosting:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup powdered erythritol
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper and grease it lightly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Create Batter: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Fold in the chopped pecans.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare Frosting: While the cake cools, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the frosting is smooth.
- Frost and Garnish: Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Sprinkle with chopped pecans for garnish.
