    Scoop out a generous portion of the stiff egg whites and gently fold them into the almond flour dough mixture. Then, transfer the mixture to the bowl with the remaining egg whites. Gently fold using a light hand to combine and form a uniform mixture.

      Probably b/c it's on a 1/2 cup of milk in the whole cake so the carbs stay very low. If it worries you then you can probably water down some double cream to a milk consistency.
