Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour I used white whole wheat flour
- 1 cup allulose * See notes
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons oil any neutral flavored oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vinegar white or apple cider
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting Optional ** See notes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease a 9-inch springform cake pan and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, keto brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt and mix well. Add the vinegar, applesauce, oil, and milk, and mix until a thick and smooth batter remains.
- Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and bake for 27-30 minutes, or until a skewer comes out mostly clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely before adding the frosting.
- To frost the cake, slice the cake lengthwise into three thin slices. Place one slice down, add frosting, then add the next layer. Add another layer of frosting, then the final cake slice on top. Frost the top and sides.

Notes
- Carbs and nutritional info: Please note, this is calculated using allulose. Other sugar substitutes will alter it. Also, this does not include the frosting. If you frost the cake, each slice will be around 162 calories.
- Sugar substitute note: I've had success with keto brown sugar and also monk fruit sweetener.
- Frosting: For a healthy cream cheese frosting, beat 1 cup non-fat cream cheese with 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until light and fluffy.
- Leftovers: Can be stored at room temperature, covered, for 3 days or in the fridge for 2 weeks. You can freeze slices for up to 6 months.
