Keto Butter Cake

Keto Butter Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for those following a ketogenic or low-carb diet. This cake is moist, buttery, and has a rich flavor that will satisfy your sweet tooth. It’s made with almond flour instead of wheat flour, which keeps the carbs low and the protein and healthy fats high. This recipe is perfect for birthdays, holidays, or any occasion where you want a sweet treat that won’t derail your diet.

  7. Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. To make the frosting, beat the softened butter and powdered erythritol together until light and fluffy.
  11. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
  12. Frost the cooled cake with the frosting and serve.
