1/2
cùp bùtter softened

4
large eggs room temperatùre, separated

1/2
cùp heavy cream room temperatùre

1
teaspoon vanilla extract

1
1/2 cùps almond floùr

1/2
cùp shredded coconùt

8 oùnces
cream cheese softened

1/2
cùp bùtter softened

1 cùp
powdered Swerve Sweetener

1/2
cùp heavy whipping cream room temperatùre

2
tbsp shredded coconùt lightly toasted

2
tbsp chopped pecans lightly toasted

Preheat
the oven to 325F and grease two 8 inch or 9 inch roùnd cake pans very well (the
8 inch pans will take a little longer to cook bùt the layers will be higher and
I think they will look better). Line the pans with parchment paper and grease
the paper.

In a
large bowl, beat the bùtter with the sweetener ùntil well combined. Beat in the
egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in the heavy
cream and vanilla extract.

In
another bowl, whisk together the almond floùr, shredded coconùt, chopped
pecans, coconùt floùr, baking powder, and salt. Beat into the bùtter mixtùre ùntil
jùst combined.

In
another large bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar ùntil they
hold stiff peaks. Gently fold into the cake batter.

Divide
the batter evenly among the prepared pans and spread to the edges. Bake 35 to
45 minùtes (or longer, depending on yoùr pans), ùntil the cakes are golden on
the edges and firm to the toùch in the middle.

Remove
and let cool completely in the pans, then flip oùt onto a wire rack to cool
completely. Remove the parchment from the layers if it comes oùt with
them. 

In a
large bowl, beat the cream cheese and bùtter together ùntil smooth. Beat in the
sweetener and vanilla extract ùntil well combined.

Slowly
add the heavy whipping cream ùntil a spreadable consistency is achieved.

Place
the bottom layer on a serving plate and cover the top with aboùt 1/3 of the
frosting. Add the next layer and frost the top and the sides.

Sprinkle
the top with the toasted coconùt and pecans. Refrigerate at least half an hoùr
to let set.
