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.
Each cake layer is 2 servings, so a double layer cake is 4 total servings.
