Macerate Strawberries
- Slice fresh strawberries and place them in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with powdered erythritol and add lemon juice. Toss gently to combine, then let sit for 20-30 minutes.
Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make Shortcake Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, powdered erythritol, baking powder, and sea salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Form and Bake Dough
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Shape the dough into a circle on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool Cake
- Remove shortcake from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes.
Prepare Whipped Cream
- In a chilled mixing bowl, combine cold heavy whipping cream with powdered erythritol and vanilla extract. Whip until stiff peaks form.
Assemble Shortcake
- Slice the cooled shortcake in half. Layer one half with macerated strawberries and whipped cream, then top with the other half and more whipped cream.
