How To Prepare Keto Vanilla Cake Recipe?

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: Keto, Low-carb

Yield: 12 servings

Equipment Needed:

• Mixing bowls
• Whisk
• Cake pan (8-inch)
• Oven

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 1 ¾ cups almond flour, finely ground
• ½ cup coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated Swerve sweetener (or your preferred keto sweetener)
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred dairy-free milk)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered Swerve sweetener (or your preferred powdered keto sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt (optional)

How to Make it Instructions:

1. Making the Cake:

●  Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy removal.

●  In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps in the almond flour for a smooth cake texture.

●  In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and Swerve sweetener until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

●  Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.

●  Stir in the vanilla extract.

●  Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, alternating with the almond milk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to over mix. Over mixing can lead to a dense cake.

●  Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

●  Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

●  Let the cakes cool completely in the pans before frosting.

2. Making the Cream Cheese Frosting:

●  In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and light.

●  Gradually add the powdered Swerve sweetener, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.

●  Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt (if using) until fully incorporated.

●  The frosting should be thick and spreadable. Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sweetener for a thicker frosting or a splash of almond milk for a thinner frosting.

3. Assembling the Cake:

●  Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a cake plate or serving dish.

●  Spread a generous amount of frosting over the top layer.

●  Carefully place the second cake layer on top.

●  Frost the entire cake, sides and top, with the remaining frosting.

●  Decorate your cake as desired with berries, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of powdered Swerve sweetener.

Tips:

▶ Ensure your almond flour is fresh and finely ground for optimal texture.

▶ If your cakes start to brown too quickly on top, tent them loosely with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking.

▶ For a richer flavor, use melted butter that has cooled slightly before adding it to the batter.

▶ This cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Tightly wrap the cooled cake layers or frosted cake to prevent drying.

Keto-Friendly Frosting Alternatives:

While the cream cheese frosting is a classic and delicious option, here are some other keto-friendly frosting ideas to explore:

1. Whipped Ganache: Heat heavy cream on the stove top, then pour it over chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a few minutes before whisking until smooth. Chill and whip until light and fluffy before frosting.

2. Strawberry Buttercream: Blend fresh strawberries with a small amount of water. Cream together softened butter, Swerve sweetener, and vanilla extract. Slowly add the strawberry puree until desired consistency is reached.

With this easy-to-follow recipe and some creative frosting inspiration, you can create a stunning and satisfying keto vanilla cake that will be the star of any low-carb celebration!

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover cake slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze individual slices for longer storage. Simply wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil before freezing.
