My Story: Why I Created This Sugar-Free Cherry Cake

Growing up, cherry cake was one of those desserts that instantly brought comfort — soft layers, bright flavor, and that perfect juicy bite. But as I shifted to healthier eating, the heavy sugar and refined ingredients didn’t feel good anymore.

I still wanted all the nostalgic flavor, but without the energy crashes, bloating, or guilt afterward.

So, I began experimenting in my kitchen — swapping sugar for natural sweeteners, replacing refined flour with healthier options, and preserving the taste I loved. After many tests (and quite a few cherry-stained kitchen towels!), this Healthy Sugarless Cherry Cake was born.

It’s moist. It’s flavorful.
And best of all? Not a single gram of added sugar.

Now it’s one of my go-to desserts — whether for a family gathering, a weekend treat, or a healthier sweet craving that doesn’t derail my goals. 🍒✨

Ingredients

For the Cake

• 2 cups almond flour
• ¼ cup coconut flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 4 large eggs
• ¼ cup melted coconut oil or butter
• ⅓ cup erythritol, xylitol, or monk fruit sweetener
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries (pitted and halved)

Optional Topping

• Extra cherries
• Sugar-free chocolate drizzle
• Whipped coconut cream

Instructions

1. Prepare the batter

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and sweetener until smooth and well combined.

2. Add dry ingredients

Mix in almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Slowly add almond milk until the batter becomes thick yet pourable.

3. Add the cherries

Fold in the cherries gently to distribute evenly.

4. Bake

Pour the mixture into a parchment-lined cake pan.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

5. Cool and enjoy

Let the cake cool completely before slicing.
Top with more cherries or sugar-free chocolate if desired.
