Instructions
Keto Yellow Cake
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8" round cake pan, or 8"x8" square pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl of a stand mixer, or an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip together the eggs, coconut oil, heavy cream and sugar free honey.4 large eggs, 1/2 cup honey substitute, 1/3 cup coconut oil, 2 tbsp heavy cream
- Now add in the apple cider vinegar and vanilla extract and mix well.1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp vanilla extract
- In a small bowl whisk together the dry cake ingredients.1/2 cup coconut flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt
- While mixing, slowly blend the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stop to scrape down the bowl, then mix again. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes so the coconut flour can soak up the liquid.
- Now scrape out the cake batter into your prepared pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes at 350F.
- Keep watch over it and toothpick test at 35 minutes. You want only a few crumbs, no liquid batter. Let it cool on a wire rack while you get the instant creamy pudding made.
Keto Pudding
- In a medium bowl with a hand mixer, mix the unsweetened almond milk and heavy cream with the classic banana pudding mix on low speed until it is mixed.1 pkg Simply Delish Banana Pudding Mix, 1 1/4 cup Unsweetened almond milk, 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Once it is combined, crank it up to medium speed and mix for 2 minutes. Mixing for the right amount of time allows the ingredients to meld and prevent dry clumps.
- At this time your cake should have cooled off a bit, so you can get your holes poked in the top before it cools all the way for the best results.
- Using the end of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the entire cake with the wooden spoon handle. OR you can use a fork.
- Now pour pudding over the cooled cake layer. Completely cover cake layer with pudding. Now you must let it sit overnight to meld together and let the pudding seep into the cake. Make sure you put it in an airtight container or cover with plastic wrap.
Keto Whipped Topping Frosting
- In a large bowl of a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, whip up heavy cream, vanilla extract, and xanthan gum on high speed until you get stiff peaks.1 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
- Then spread onto the top of the cake and return it to the fridge for at least an hour to stiffen the topping.

Yes — just reduce the baking time and check frequently since smaller portions bake faster. Can I add extras like chocolate chips or nuts?
Sure! Just keep it keto-friendly by choosing sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts to maintain low carbs. Does this cake freeze well?
Absolutely. You will need to flash freeze cut slices on a parchment lined baking tray first before wrapping each one individually. You can also freeze the whole cake in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2–3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge the day before the event.
- You can skip making your own whipped topping and go for some sugar free cool whip. It will only hold up a few days though with purchased whipped cream.
- Note that coconut flour cannot be subbed out with all purpose flour or cake flour. The properties of absorption are vastly different and it will turn out.
