Ingredients
Birthday Cake
- 6 large Eggs
- 3/4 cup Powdered Swerve
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 stick Butter softened
- 1/2 Tbsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
- 2 1/4 cups Finely Ground Almond Flour
- 2 tsp. Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt
Frosting

- 1 cup Powdered Swerve
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
- 2 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Making The Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line bottom of two round 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper. Butter the sides of the pans to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, mix the eggs, sweetener, cream, butter, and vanilla.
- Next, add the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until batter is smooth, scraping down the sides halfway through with a rubber spatula.
- Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Remove cakes from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before the cakes from the pans. Let the cakes cool for 30 minutes to an hour on a wire rack.
Making The Frosting
- While cakes are cooling, make the frosting. Beat together the butter, sweetener, cream, cocoa powder, and vanilla until smooth.
Assembling The Keto Birthday Cake
- After cakes have cooled to room temperature, frost between the layers with ⅓ of the frosting. Use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides.
