Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line the bottom of 2 9" round springform pans with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together Monk fruit sweetener and butter, until fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the vanilla, sour cream, almond milk, and vinegar first to prevent splashing, then beat to incorporate.
Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in the coconut flour, 1/2 cup (56 g) at a time. Beat in cocoa powder and cream of tartar, until the batter is smooth. Beat in the beet root powder, if using, one teaspoon at a time to reach our desired color.
Divide dough among the 2 pans, and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for about 25 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely in the pans, then run a knife along the sides and flip to release.
To make the frosting, use a hand mixer to beat together the cream cheese and butter, until fluffy. Beat in the sweetener and vanilla, until well incorporated. Add cream and beat again, until creamy.
Place one layer of cake onto a cake stand or platter. Frost the top with 3/4 cup (255 g) frosting. Place the second layer on top and frost the top with another 3/4 cup frosting (255 g). Finally, frost the sides with 1 1/2 cups (510 g) frosting. If desired, top with chopped pecans.
