For the cake
First put two sticks of pastured butter (like this one or this one), two packages of cream cheese and a half cup of local honey in a mixer and beat for 20 minutes, until light and fluffy. Cream cheese is difficult to find without pathogen feeding thickener gums. This one is clean, or you can make it yourself by using this. Making cream cheese is easier than making yogurt or kefir.
Add a half cup of home brewed kefir and one tablespoon vanilla and mix until blended.
Add 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1.5 teaspoons nutmeg, pinch of salt and one and a half cups of chopped walnuts and mix until combined.
Add in 3 cups of almond flour and 6 pastured eggs, alternating one egg then almond flour, then egg, then almond flour, etc. Mix in 3 tablespoons coconut flour.
Put the batter, split equally into buttered and dusted with almond flour circle pans and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. After the time is up, turn the oven off and leave the cake in the oven for an additional 30 minutes or until the center isn’t jiggly.
Turn out onto a cake serving tray and allow to cool, then frost.
For the frosting
Mix together two packages of cream cheese (like this one or your homemade like this one) with two sticks of pastured butter and a half cup of local honey. Mix on high for roughly 20 minutes, until fluffy. Frost.
