Cream Cheese Glaze

Instructions
Prepare the Cake Batter:
1
Preheat the oven to 350F.
2
Lightly grease an 8x8 pan or 8x6 glass tupperware with butter or avocado oil. (I use an 8x6 pyrex with a lid for easy fridge to table slicing)

3
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
4
Stir in the eggs, whipping cream and vanilla extract.Pour the almond flour mixture into the prepared baking pan.
Cinnamon Swirl Filling:
1
Combine the softened butter, Swerve Brown, and cinnamon. I put the mixture in the oven to warm slightly for a well combined soft consistency that's easy to swirl through the batter.
2
Drop the cinnamon filling by spoonfuls on top of the cake batter.

3
Using a knife, pull the cinnamon filling through cake batter.

Bake
1
Bake 30 minutes, or until the cinnamon roll cake is golden brown.
2
While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze.
Cream Cheese Glaze
1
Whip the cream cheese, erythritol and vanilla mixture until smooth with an egg beater. If you're using a granular sweetener, ensure that is blended smoothly. Once the cinnamon roll cake has cooled slightly, layer the cream cheese glaze on top of the cake. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes:

You can prepare the Cinnamon Swirl Cake the night before and bake it the next day.
