Ingredients

Bottom Layer

3 tbs coconut flour
1/4 cup powdered erythritol
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbs beef gelatin optional
8 tbs butter room temperature
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs room temperature

Top Layer

8 tbs butter room temperature
8 oz cream cheese room temperature
1/4 cup powdered erythritol
1/2 tsp vanilla
50 drops liquid stevia
2 large eggs room temperature

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8-inch springform pan with coconut oil spray.

Bottom Layer

Add the butter, vanilla extract and eggs into a large mixing bowl and combine using a hand mixer.
Add the coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder and optionally the gelatin, and combine using a spatula.
Set aside.

Top Layer

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese using a hand mixer.
Add in the vanilla extract, erythritol, stevia and eggs, and combine with the hand mixer until smooth.

Cake

Form the bottom layer (crust) into the bottom of the spring form pan using your hands.
Pour the top layer on top of the crust layer and give it a few taps to release the air bubbles.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. It's ready to be taken out once the edges start to brown. Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes.
Tip: Our preferred method of serving is after it has cooled for 2 hours bringing it to room temperature!

Feel Good About This Butter Cake

I can almost promise that you won't take issue with the fact that this may not be the same exact butter cake you ate growing up, but I can also promise you that that cake did more harm to your body than the taste could make up for. We've done our best to replace this classic cake without the added negative side effects:

No more long-lasting spike in blood glucose and insulin!
No more sluggish feeling/food coma!
No more mental guilt for eating that second piece of high carb, high fat cake!

Now, if I can eat something that tastes just as good without all the above side effects, then I'm a happy girl.

For The Love Of Keto Cakes!

I used to be a lover of all cakes, carrot cake in particular until I started keto. I found it hard to replace a good flour based cake, which is why we have been on a quest to create a lot of great low carb cake options.
