Notes

  • Don’t overbake; check at 22 minutes to avoid dryness.
  • For extra richness, use a blend of butter and coconut oil.
  • Top with keto frosting, berries, or crushed nuts.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze slices.
  • Let the cake rest before slicing to lock in moisture.
