Ingredients
- 1 box Keto Cake Mix (White or yellow flavor, gluten‑free, keto‑friendly; use the whole box except 2 Tbsp set aside)
- 5 large Eggs (Room temperature)
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Nut Milk (Almond milk or other unsweetened nut milk)
- 1/4 cup Avocado Oil (Neutral‑flavored oil, keto‑friendly)
- 2 Tbsp Keto Cake Mix (reserved) (Set aside from the box to add to the cinnamon butter mixture)
- 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter (Softened at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup Sugar‑Free Brown Sweetener (e.g., Swerve Brown or similar low‑carb brown sugar substitute)
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon (Freshly ground for best flavor)
- 1/2 cup Powdered Allulose (Low‑carb sweetener for glaze; less sweet than erythritol)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (Pure vanilla extract)
- 2 Tbsp Unsweetened Nut Milk (for glaze) (Add more if glaze is too thick)
Instructions
Prepare the Cake Batter
In a large mixing bowl combine the keto cake mix (minus the 2 Tbsp reserved), 5 large eggs, 1/2 cup unsweetened nut milk, and 1/4 cup avocado oil. Whisk until smooth and no dry pockets remain.
Time: PT10M
Grease and Line the Pan
Grease the 8×8 inch square baking dish with a thin layer of butter or oil, then line the bottom with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the edges for easy removal.
Time: PT5M
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake in a pre‑heated oven at 375°F for 35–38 minutes, or until the top is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Time: PT38M
Temperature: 375°F
Make the Cinnamon Butter Swirl
While the cake bakes, combine 3/4 cup softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup sugar‑free brown sweetener, and 2 tsp ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Beat until smooth, then stir in the reserved 2 Tbsp of keto cake mix.
Time: PT5M
Add Cinnamon Swirls
Remove the cake from the oven. Using a cookie scoop, spoon, or your fingers, drop random dollops of the cinnamon butter mixture onto the warm cake surface. Do not spread; keep the pattern irregular for a natural look.
Time: PT5M
Prepare the Vanilla Glaze
In a small bowl whisk together 1/2 cup powdered allulose, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 2 Tbsp unsweetened nut milk. Add more nut milk a teaspoon at a time until the glaze reaches a pourable, slightly runny consistency.
Time: PT3M
Glaze the Warm Cake
While the cake is still warm, drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to seep into the crevices of the cinnamon swirls. Let the glaze set for a few minutes.
Time: PT5M
Cool and Slice
Allow the cake to cool on a rack for 5 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment overhang and slice into 9 equal squares.
Time: PT5M
