Keto Red Velvet Cake

When it comes to birthday cakes, Keto Red Velvet Cake is the thing. We’re not saying Keto Red Velvet Cake options are better than the others … but we get a little more excited when the latter’s results are at a party. Cream Cheese Frosting which is made from Swerve Confectionery, tastes amazing.

Divide batter evenly among prepared cake pans. Bake it until that toothpick which is inserted in the middle comes out pretty clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes, then place on a cooling rack and cool completely.
