Instructions
Sponge cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Separate the egg whites from the yolks, and place them in two separate bowls.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff with the help of an electric mixer. Reserve.
- Add the sweetener to the egg yolks and beat until the mixture turns pale yellow. Add the melted butter and the baking powder and mix. Finally, add the almond flour and mix again until well incorporated.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the mixture with a spatula, using gentle, sweeping movements.
- Grease a 9" × 13" (23 × 33cm) baking pan. You can also cover the pan with parchment paper instead of greasing. Spoon in the dough. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Let the cake cool down for 3 hours and remove it from the tray.
Mascarpone cream
- Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks.
- In another bowl, whip the mascarpone and add the sweetener.
- Using a silicone spatula, mix the cream and the mascarpone with gentle, enveloping movements.
Assembly and serving
- Pour the coffee into a deep bowl.
- Cut the sponge cake into strips or sticks, dip them in the coffee and form the first layer at the bottom of an 11" x 7" (27 x 18 cm) rectangular cake pan.
- Spread a layer of mascarpone cream on top.
- Then, add another layer of coffee-dipped sponge cake strips and covered it with another layer of cream.
- Decorate with the cocoa powder and let it rest in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

Is it possible to have it with no diary products? coconut oil or something beside butter? and mascarpone
Thank you
We have not tested this recipe with dairy free substitutes. The butter and mascarpone would be the most difficult to substitute.
However, it seems possible to get closer to the original as a keto recipe for ladyfingers is available.
Hi, Trudy! Here's our guide to sweeteners that work best for keto. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto/sweeteners
All zero-calorie sweeteners without any exception have an after taste I cannot tolerate.
Erythriol, Xylitol and other caloric sweeteners don't have such a terrible flavor.
Erythriol has less calories than Xylitol and is not digested by the gut's microorganisms.
Bassem #7 question was never answered regarding using eggs like in the original recipe instead of cream. Is it because of the raw eggs? Prior keto I always found pure marscapone to rich so I used half quark (have to check carbs I think 5G for a cup) I think next time I will try that or half cream cheese instead of the cream and go back to the eggs.
Glad you enjoyed it! I have asked our recipe team about this, but there should be no issues making it as Bassem stated.
Those do sound like good additions! Thank you for sharing.
