- Heat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease and line two 20 cm (8-inch) cake pans. In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder and salt. 0:40
- Add the 4 egg yolks, sour cream, melted butter and vanilla, then the sweetener and ¼ cup cream, and mix until combined. 1:10
- Beat all 6 egg whites with an electric mixer to stiff peaks. Stir a third into the thick batter to loosen it, then gently fold in the rest. 1:41
- Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 18–20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. 2:06
- For the sauce, cook the diced strawberries with the sugar-free syrup over medium heat until they release their juice and thicken. Add 2–3 tbsp water and blend smooth. 2:30
- Whip the 4 cups of cream with the sweetener until it starts to thicken, add the lemon zest and juice, then beat on high to stiff peaks. 3:10
- Cut the cake into bite-sized cubes. In a trifle bowl, layer a third of the lemon cream, half the cake, half the sauce and half the berries; repeat, finishing with cream. Chill until serving. 3:50
Tip. Makes a big bowl (20 serves); halve everything for a smaller trifle dish or layer it into individual glasses. Make it ahead and keep it chilled.

Vitamin E High32%
4.8 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (81%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.
Vitamin A High28%
249 µg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (79%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Vitamin C Source17%
15 mg a serve, mostly from strawberries (30%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
Omega-3 Source13%
0.2 g a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (70%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Magnesium Source12%
51 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (79%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.
Selenium Source11%
6.1 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (50%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.
Vitamin B12 Source10%
0.2 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (48%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Calcium7%
91 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (44%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Iron5%
0.9 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (61%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
Folate5%
21 µg a serve, mostly from almond flour (31%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.
Vitamin K4%
5.2 µg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (29%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Vitamin D3%
0.6 µg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (50%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
