Birthday Cake



Celebrating? How about doing it without breaking the carb bank?  This makes a small, shareable (or saveable) cake you can use to celebrate your Ketoversary, or any special occasion.

THIS IS A MICROWAVE RECIPE

Ingredients (per layer):

2 Tbsp Almond Flour
1 Tbsp Coconut Flour
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
Dash pink salt
1 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
2 Tbsp plus 1 tsp Almond milk
1 egg
1 Tbsp sweetener
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

  • Mix dry ingredients, except sweetener in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Melt the coconut oil in a small container that will be used to bake your cake layers.  I use a Ramekin.  A small rectangle or round pyrex storage bowl is also perfect, but it gets really hot in the microwave so use caution.  
  • With a fork, stir almond milk, egg, sweetener, and vanilla into the melted coconut oil
  • Beat the dry ingredients into the liquid until well combined.
  • Microwave for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until the cake is no longer wet.  It took a little over 2 minutes in my microwave (900 watts).
  • Remove the cake layer from the container to a cooling rack.  
  • Repeat for each layer (I usually make 2)
  • When the cake is cool, you can frost with Butter Cream Frosting, if desired.
  • Refrigerate for an hour for best flavor.
