Introduction to Keto Cakes
It’s hard to come by a dense, moist cake on the keto diet, until now. We created this Cinnamon Ricotta Cake using a base of full fat ricotta cheese to ensure a moist outcome every time you make it! Make it for Sunday brunch, the next birthday party or the holidays, and it will never fail you.
The Secret to a Moist Keto Cake
The secret to this cake’s moistness lies in its base ingredient: full fat ricotta cheese. Unlike traditional cakes that rely on flour and sugar for structure and moisture, this cake uses the creaminess of ricotta cheese to achieve a dense and moist texture.
Recipe Ingredients
To make this delicious Cinnamon Ricotta Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups full fat ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup granulated sweetener (such as Swerve or Erythritol)
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
To prepare the cake, follow these steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, granulated sweetener, and melted coconut oil. Mix until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the ground cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
