This forgiving cake will tolerate mistakes as long as you don't forget it in the oven. You should be very careful with nut flours as they brown much quicker than regular flour.

TOOLS and GADGETS 

  • 2 9" round cake pans
  • Parchment Paper
  • Electric Mixer
  • Measuring Cups, Mixing Bowls, Spatulas

 

TIPS and SUBSTITUTIONS

  • Allulose can be replaced by other sweeteners. For Erythritol, use 3/4 Cup and add very little amount of black pepper in frosting to mask the cooling taste it causes. 
  • Monk fruit, you will need only 1/2 cup depending on the filler it comes with. Monk fruit (lakanto) is extremely sweet like stevia and not very easy to mix in its pure form. So it is mixed with some other material. The cheap version comes with dextrose, which is not suitable for the Keto diet. It increases blood glucose more than table sugar. Sometimes it comes with inulin, it is the healthy version.
  • Using virgin coconut oil will result in a wonderful coconut aroma and is an excellent alternative.
  • Be careful when baking the cake as the nut flours brown faster.

    Hi Julie,
    Thanks for pointing it out. Heavy cream will be in table spoons. Just don’t add all in once, add one table spoon if the consistency is fine don’t add more.

    Tried this recipe and it turned out ok. But in the directions you don’t have where you add in the coconut oil and vanilla. I just through them in. Then you have teaspoons of heavy cream in the frosting list but tablespoons in the directions. Just wondering which it’s supposed to really be.
