How to Make It
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, add the heavy cream, water, yeast, and 1 tsp—coconut flour. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to prove. The mixture is ready to use when foam forms on the top.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the remaining coconut flour, almond flour, whey isolate powder, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum. Mix to combine. Set aside.
Step 3
In a food processor, add the granulated erythritol and blend to form a fine powder. Then, add in the softened butter and blend until well incorporated. Add the egg and lemon zest and blend until well combined.
Step 4
Add the liquid mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir to incorporate fully. Ensure there are no lumps in the batter. The dough should be of medium thickness, not too runny, and not too stiff.
Step 5
Transfer the dough to a baking tin lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it doubles its original size.
Step 6
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Once the dough is done proving, remove the plastic wrap and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center of the bread should come out clean.
Step 7
Allow the paska cake to cool for 5 minutes. Gently flip the baking pan to remove the bread. Dust powdered erythritol on top and serve warm.
