Tips for Making the Best Keto Lemon Cake 

The first step is to preheat your oven and prepare your pans for baking. 

I grease a bundt pan with butter to make this cake easier to remove once it is done baking. 

You could make this cake in any pan of your choosing but be sure to adjust the cooking time to suit the pan you use.

I personally like the way this cake turned out when using a star bundt pan. 

How to Make a Keto Lemon Cake

While I am usually the type to just dump everything into the mixing bowl and turn on my mixer, I have learned that this method is unnecessarily messy.

Mixing the dry ingredients in one bowl and then mixing the wet ingredients in another bowl seems to be the best method for this low carb cake. 

The next step is to combine all of the ingredients together. 

I usually keep the wet ingredients in my mixing bowl and let the mixer do its thing while slowly adding in the dry ingredients. 

The dry ingredients tend to make a powdery cloud and explode all over my kitchen when I am not careful. 

Transfer the cake batter to the oven and bake for about 30-35minutes. 

How to Make Keto Frosting

Mix all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whip to combine the ingredients and to achieve the perfect consistency. 

Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer for this step and set aside the frosting until the cake cools. 

This recipe makes plenty of frosting to completely cover a star Bundt cake or two circle cakes.

Tips for the Perfect Keto Lemon Cake

Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan. 

Place the cooled cake on a flat surface before frosting, a plate works well.

Refrigerating the cake seems to be the trick to locking the moisture in but be sure to store this keto cake in an airtight container.

The combination of the lemon flavor and the creamy frosting is best enjoyed when chilled in my opinion but if you prefer a room temperature cake, remove this dessert from the refrigerator 20 minutes before serving. 

Can I Freeze this Keto Lemon Cake?

Yes! This cake can be frozen but keep in mind as with most baked goods, it is always better served fresh.

If you choose to freeze this low carb dessert, be sure to thaw out at room temperature for about half an hour before serving.

Another way to ensure that this keto cake is as delicious once frozen is to store it without frosting and wrap the entire cake with press and seal then another layer of aluminum foil on top. 

This method allows you to write the date on top so that you know how long this keto dessert has been frozen.

I would suggest eating the cake within 3 months and whipping up fresh frosting before serving. 

Is this Keto Cake Diabetic Friendly?

Yes! This cake is diabetic friendly and perfect for those of us who are following a low carb diet.

Instad of using traditional all purpose flour and sugar, this cake is made with low carb ingredients that are perfect for those who are diabetic. 

This cake was inspired by mom who requested a lemon cake for her birthday but since she is diabetic, I wanted to make something that she could enjoy without compromising her health. 

I never anticipated how much I would enjoy this recipe but it is the most moist and delicious cake I have ever had.

Since it was such a hit, I am going to use the base of this recipe to create more keto friendly cakes in a variety of flavors.

As with any recipe, be sure to make sure that your ingredients are produced in a gluten-free environment if you have a gluten intolerance.
