Ketogenic Birthday Cake!

-
October is here which means... it’s my birthday month. I want to stay keto strong and in order to do that I will need a keto approved cake that doesn’t taste nasty and secondly is not filled with a hundred crazy steps. Not my style!


So after testing a few combinations, I am here to share the best of the best!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of almond flour - 280 Cal, 2 g Net Carb, 24 g Fat, 10 g Protein
  • 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder - 40 Cal, 4 g Net Carb, 2 g Fat, 4 g Protein
  • 2 eggs - 154 Cal, 2 g Net Carb, 10.6 g Fat, 12.6 g Protein
  • 3/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract - 9 Cal, .4 g Net Carb, 0 g Fat, 0 g Protein
  • 1 cup melted butter - 700 Cal, .0g Net Carb, 77 g Fat, 0 g Protein
  • 3/4 swerve (or equivalent sweetener) -  0 Cal, 0 g Net Carb, 0 g Fat, 0 g Protein
  • Pinch of salt
  • Lily’s Chocolate Chips - optional 
  • Stevia drops - optional for extra sweetness

How to Make your Cake
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Mix all of your ingredients in a box until all clumps are removed and the mixture is smooth. For me it was about 2 minutes of hand mixing. 
  3. Pour your mixture into a greased 5 x 8 baking dish (I used a butter spray). Add optional chocolate chips on top. 
  4. Bake for 22 minutes. Check with a fork that the cake is baked thoroughly - the fork after puncturing the cake will be clean when ready. 
  5. Let the cake cool before serving.
Tips - Sifting the flour, cocoa powder, and sweetener leads to a tastier cake.
Macros - you macros may differ slightly depending on the brand.
Whole Cake: 1,183 Cal, 8.4 Net Carb, 113.6 g Fat, 26.6 g Protein
1/6th of Cake: 197.17 Cal, 1.4 Net Carb, 18.93 g Fat, 4.43 g Protein

Keto Costco Ultimate Shopping List

I love Costco for Keto friendly foods! Bulk size and alot of the time you pay regular sized prices! It may be a big bill up front, but in the long run you will save. I would say that’s a win-win! This is going to be an extensive list, but because products are ever changing and sometimes available for certain times, all of these may not be there when you go. Some pictures also have prices, which may be different at your store! Here is a picture of my haul my patient husband and I did! Total spent was $100! Before we get started you will need to know what type of Keto you follow. Check out this link:  What type of Keto are you?  These items will all fit under the Dirty Keto definition, but not all will fit under Strict Keto. If you are Strict Keto please check your labels in regards to the ingredients so that you only buy for the plan you are on. First I am going to list my top 11 Costco must haves:  Egg Thins!! These are only 8 calories each! Use them as tortillas for break

Two Keto Weekly Meal Plans

If you are following Keto, you will notice that the more that you plan the more successful you will probably be. But who has the time to write down what we eat and then make the food. Here I have taken out one of your steps. It is a great tool if you are on week 1, or week 20! Time to choose between : The Busy Bee or The Adventurous Creator! If you have limited time in cooking, or don't have too much experience in cooking but don't mind eating a meal multiple times  then you are a Busy Bee! On the other hand, some people like eating different meals everyday, because sometimes we get bored. When I get bored I fall off the wagon! If you have the time, and you are comfortable with cooking, you are the Adventurous Creator. There is no right or wrong answer, it is what will fit your needs in your daily life!  Now that you have chosen your plan, let's get some guidance on how to turn your meal plan into meals! I am not providing the nutritional guide / macros f
