FUNFETTI KETO BIRTHDAY CAKE

Hot damn – a keto birthday cake ‘sprinkles’ and all! No sugar, no grains and no gluten! Whip up this easy cake for your next birthday!

Ok, so I’ll admit, the first time I made this it was a DISASTER. I took it out of the oven and it completely collapsed.. but with a few tweaks of the oven temperature, this time around it came out GREAT.

For the sprinkles, I decided to use unsweetened coconut flakes and used a food colouring. Now most food colouring is made from caramelized sugar. I used Club House liquid food colouring that doesn’t seem to have any sugar in it. You can skip this step if you don’t feel comfortable.
