Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Break 5 eggs into a mixing bowl and add 1 cup of plain non-fat Greek yogurt.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 3 squirts of stevia extract to the bowl.

Add a pinch of pink salt to balance the sweetness of the stevia.

Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar to the mixture.

Grate the zest of 1 orange into the mixture, avoiding the white part.

Blend all the ingredients together until smooth before adding the flours.

Add 2 cups of blanched almond flour and 1/2 cup of arrowroot flour to the blended mixture and mix until combined.

Spread the batter thinly on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.

Bake in the oven for 18 minutes, checking around 15-16 minutes for doneness.

While the cake is baking, prepare the berry sauce by adding 1 cup of blueberries and 1 cup of mixed berries to a saucepan.

Add 2 tablespoons of sweetener to the berries and cover the saucepan, cooking on medium heat.

Lower the heat and stir the berries as they cook down into a sauce.

In a separate bowl, prepare the whipped cream by adding 1/2 pint of heavy whipping cream and 4 oz of mascarpone cheese.

Powder 1/4 cup of sweetener using a blender and add it to the cream mixture along with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Mix the cream mixture on high speed until well combined and fluffy.
