Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Beat the four egg whites that were separated from the yolks—until soft peaks form. Set aside.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
-
In a mixing bowl, mix together the the almond milk, 2 egg yolks (save the other two yolks for something else,) butter, and the yogurt.
-
Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. Then with a large spoon, gently fold in the egg whites.
-
Spoon into two well spray-greased 9" cake pans. Bake for approx. 25 – 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 min., then invert onto two separate plates for continued cooling.
-
In the meantime, beat the whipping cream and sweetener until very thick and then mix in the cream cheese.
-
Pulverize strawberries in food processor and add to mixture. Whip until it’s like a frosting texture.
-
Ice when cake is completely cooled. Store in refrigerator.
