A Keto Cake Without Eggs??!!!

I am sure you are well aware of the fact that the price of eggs has gone through the roof! I recently saw a dozen free-range eggs costing over $12 - that's more than a dollar an egg!!!

Most of my keto recipes, such as my Keto Chocolate Cake Recipe, Keto Carrot Cake Roll Cake or this Keto Almond Flour Sponge Cake - Gluten-free require anywhere from 3-5 eggs each - that means that by the time you add in all the remaining ingredients, making sugar-free desserts can be quite expensive these days.

That's why I decided to come up with a keto eggless snacking cake recipe that would be the most economical (as well as one of the best tasting!) keto cakes on the internet!

What Are Keto Snacking Cakes?

The simple title "keto snacking cake" can more or less tell you exactly the type of cake their name implies - they are not fancy enough for birthdays, anniversaries or any other type of gathering or celebration.

They are simply a type of cake that comes together with minimal effort so that when a craving for a keto cake hits, you can whip up this recipe (along with a quick and easy frosting that I have included!) in a matter of minutes.

They are not meant to be complicated, intricate or beautiful to look at, but their taste will rival even the most ornate cake you can create.

High Protein Snacking Cake

Although this recipe is ridiculously easy and almost foolproof, you do have to use very specific ingredients if you want this keto eggless snacking cake to turn out perfectly.

First, this protein cake without eggs requires the use of a pure whey protein powder. This can not be substituted with any other protein powder, such as casein or pea.

Since this is a protein cake without eggs, the addition of ground flaxseed along with water is also a must. Ground flaxseed gives this keto snacking cake the perfectly moist center that we all know and love when it comes to cake!

Lastly, I have only made this recipe using the WholeEarth Baking blend, which contains a mixture of allulose, xanthan gum as well as erythritol. I am not sure is this is a must, but since I haven't tried using other types of sweeteners, I can only tell you that this cake is amazing when you use this sweetener. The only downside to baking with allulose is that the cake will brown faster than other keto sweeteners.

Keto Eggless Snacking Cake Tips

Here are a few tips to ensure you LOVE this recipe as much as I do!

• Place the water and coconut oil in a large glass measuring cup and heat the two together for approximately 30 seconds - this causes the flaxseed to absorb the water at a faster rate
• Make sure you prepare the batter and LET IT SIT for at least 10 minutes to thicken

• Do not forget to add the vinegar at THE VERY END - if you add the vinegar at the beginning, it will react with the baking soda and all the gases will be released before the cake goes into the oven - this will result in a denser cake
• Taste the mixture - since this is a keto cake without any eggs, it is ok to taste the batter and add more sweetener since different protein powders have varying levels of sweetness.
• If adding mix-ins - I suggest only adding them to the top of the cake either RIGHT before placing it in the oven OR allowing the cake to bake for approximately 5 minutes before adding the mix-ins to the top of the cake. The cake batter is very "loose" so heavy items could sink to the bottom if you incorporate them too early.

Protein Cream Cheese Frosting

Although this high protein snacking cake is delicious on its own, I decided to add a high protein cream cheese frosting to complement the cinnamon keto snacking cake.

IF you choose to make this protein cream cheese frosting (you can find the recipe here and replace the palm shortening with cream cheese), it will add 7 grams of protein for a total nutritional value per slice of 160 calories, 13 grams of fat, 1 gram of net carbs and over 10 grams of protein!

Different Keto Snacking Cakes for Different Occasions

This keto cake recipe can be used to make a variety of different styles of cakes. If you double the recipe and use 6-inch cake pans, you can make a 3-tiered keto cake.

You can also use this recipe exactly as written and slice the snacking cake in half and stack to two with some frosting in between to make a delicious bar cake.

Lastly, I have also used this recipe to make 6 cupcakes and added some chocolate protein frosting on each for a healthy birthday treat!
