keto birthday cake

Following a ketogenic diet can be tough at times, especially around birthday times, so I have set out to create the worlds best keto birthday cake.

Maybe you are making this for yourself, or you could be making this for a friend who is keto. Either way, you are going to blow socks off with this incredible recipe. This comes highly recommended to impress even those who aren’t keto.

So what’s the secret to this Keto Birthday Cake?

Well, in my testing for the revamp of the keto bread recipe, I noticed that gelatine has a pretty unique texture when it comes to being a binding agent. The consistency and gelatinous feel reminded me a lot of cake, which is exactly why I use gelatine in this recipe.

Gelatine isn’t vegetarian or vegan-friendly, however, you could also substitute this with guar gum or xanthan gum if that is important to you.

I borrowed the icing from one of my previous Lemon and Coconut Cake Recipes, as it has been a super delicious recipe for a long time now. The addition of a little lemon juice in the icing is what makes the vanilla flavor pop!

Keto Birthday Cake

Easy Low Carb Birthday Cake doesn’t need many different ingredients to taste delicious. The mix of coconut and almond flour is an absolute winner, but not 100% necessary.

If you are looking for more fluffy Keto Birthday Cake like this, you are going to love my other dessert recipes on the blog that are just as delicious is this one, or you can download my Best Selling Keto Cookbook to get started right away.

  • Next, seperate the egg yolks from the egg whites into two seperate mixing bowls. Combine the heavy whipping cream, melted butter and vanilla extract with the egg YOLKS
  • Using a small amount of warm water, melt the gelatine powder and mix with a small spoon until it looks well combined (it will start to become quite thick). Combine with the egg yolk mixture

Icing

  • Combine the cream cheese, heavy whipping cream and powdered erythirtol in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer.
  • Add vanilla extract and lemon juice. Use as icing for your cake once it has cooled sufficiently.
  • Slice the cake in half slowly using a large blade, use 1/3 of the icing to layer between the cake, adding strawberries as needed.
  • Ice the top of the cake with the remaining icing. Top with any kind of keto friendly berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) and enjoy. Best served fresh.

    LOVE this recipe!! Made a couple variations that all got rave reviews from non-keto friends and family. What would it take to make this a chocolate cake?

      Hi Tegan, thanks for the reply! I would suggest checking out my flourless chocolate cake out of my keto sweet tooth cookbook here instead: https://www.amazon.com/Keto-Sweet-Tooth-Cookbook-Ketogenic/dp/1465483837

    Dear Aaron, Two years ago I made your keto birthday cake for my 80th It was just divine and is the one of the best I’ve ever made. We 2 old ducks are on keto for the benefit to out brains rather than weight loss, by the way, which may explain why it has taken two years to thank you!
    Please keep up the good work!
    And by the way, you are so right about gelatine. It makes a world of difference.
    Jackie

    Everything came out perfect but it stuck to the pan. I thought I buttered it well…any tips?

      Hi Christina, I usually use a springform pan for all my cake recipes, which allows you to line the bottom with baking paper.

    Cant wait to bake this for the first time next week. Could I cook the cake in two 9inch tins and reduce cooking time as would like to do it Victoria sponge style? Thanks
