INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups salted ghee or grass fed butter
1 (8 oz.) miyoko cream cheese
2 cups monkfruit sugar
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. almond extract
6 eggs
2 2/3 cups good quality gluten-free flour blend
1/3 cup corn starch

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 325°. Spray a bundt pan or 2 loaf pans with non-stick coconut spray.
In the bowl of your electric mixer, cream together the butter, cream cheese and sugar until light (medium speed -about 5 minutes).
Add the vanilla and almond extracts and beat another 30 seconds to mix well.
Place a sifter/sieve/strainer over a bowl. Measure the flour, cornstarch, dump into the sifter. Sift together the dry ingredients. You can repeat to sift another time or I just used a whisk and really whisked them together well.
Break the 6 eggs into another bowl and set aside.
With your mixer on low, alternately add the flour mixture and the eggs to your butter/sugar mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
Pour batter into the prepared pan(s).
Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in pan, then gently loosen the sides with a table knife or plastic spatula before turning over onto serving plate.
