4 tablespoons whole milk

Cooking instruction summary:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and adjust rack to middle position. Line and butter two 9-inch springform pans. Whisk together the coconut flour, tapioca flour, arrowroot flour and baking powder in a medium bowl. Place the butter and 1/3 cup maple sugar in the bowl of a standing mixer. Using whisk attachment, whisk on medium-high speed for 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Separate the egg whites and yolks and beat the yolks into the butter mixture. Fold in the flour mixture until incorporated. Divide the batter between the two prepared springform pans and spread evenly in the pans. Pour remaining 1/3 cup maple sugar into a coffee or spice mill and grind until it is a fine powder. Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Slowly add the powdered maple sugar until incorporated. Spread a layer of meringue on top of the cake batter in each pan, and sprinkle the almonds evenly over. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. Cool completely. Whip the cream and honey until soft peaks form. Remove one cake from the pan and invert onto a cake plate. Top with berries and cream. Place the second cake on top, meringue upward and press down very gently to secure. Serve.
