How to prepare the Chocolate Keto Birthday Cake with Raspberries

Instructions for the Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 160 degrees Celsius. Grease two round 8-inch cake pans with some butter.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla, and Steviala Cristal until smooth and well combined.
3. Add the almond flour, salt, and baking powder to the mixture, whisking until there are no lumps and the batter is smooth.
4. Divide the batter evenly between the greased cake pans, ensuring they are filled equally.
5. Place the cake pans in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. The tops of the cakes won’t brown even when they are fully baked.
6. Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
7. After 10 minutes, invert the cakes onto a wire rack to cool completely, which usually takes about 30 minutes.
8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter, heavy cream, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and Steviala Cristal until light and fluffy.

Instructions for the assembling the cake:

1. Once cooled, place one of the cake layers on a cake plate, flat side up.
2. Place ⅓ of the frosting in the middle of the cake and use an offset spatula to spread the frosting all over the top of the cake.
3. Gently place the second cake layer on top of the first one, flat side up. There’s no need to press on it. Place another ⅓ of frosting on top of this second cake, and use the spatula to spread it all over the top of the cake.
4. Use the remaining frosting to frost the sides of the cake
5. Put the frosted cake in the fridge until the next day

Instructions for the Decoration (Just before Serving):

1. Once the cake with frosting has chilled overnight, remove it from the refrigerator.
2. Decorate the cake with fresh raspberries just before serving, placing them on top of the frosting in a decorative pattern.
3. Slice and serve the cake, enjoying its decadent flavour and moist texture.
