My daughter wanted me to make her birthday cake. I’ve made many keto desserts since my journey began and this is the best recipe yet. It’s a combination of two recipes and it makes an outstanding keto cake! Every crumb was eaten!
I got the cake part of the recipe from Swerve Sweets blog but it is part of another recipe. It’s the cake from the Boston Cream Poke Cake. I’ve made it before and it was so tasty that I wanted to use that portion of the recipe as a cake instead. The frosting is a frosting recipe that I got off of Pinterest 10 years ago but have no idea who initially created it. I did convert it to keto though because it called for vegetable shortening , aka Crisco, filled with soy and real sugar which both aren’t allowed on keto lol. The chocolate ganache was simply melting Lily’s sugar free chocolate chips and adding coconut oil.
Here’s how you make this delicious keto birthday cake!
