Coconut cream is dairy-free and rich, while milk is more accessible.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.

In a bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Add buttermilk and red food coloring to the wet ingredients and mix well.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

For the frosting, beat cream cheese and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy.

Gradually add powdered erythritol to the frosting, mixing until well combined.

Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread frosting on top.

Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.

Decorate with additional erythritol or cocoa powder if desired.
