Description

Imagine a delightful confection that brings the joy of celebration to your table – a tender and moist cake speckled with vibrant bursts of color. This special treat begins with a delicate crumb, achieved by blending fine almond flour with the richness of coconut oil and the subtle sweetness of coconut milk. These carefully chosen ingredients create a base that's both satisfying and wholesome.

Scattered throughout the batter are cheerful, sugar-free sprinkles, which bake into the cake, creating a festive confetti effect in every slice. The cake is baked until it reaches a beautiful golden-brown hue, its aroma filling your kitchen with a warm, inviting scent. Once cooled, the cake is generously frosted with a light and airy buttercream.

The buttercream, whipped to a cloud-like consistency, is crafted from creamy salted butter and a touch of powdered sweetener. You have complete control over the sweetness level, allowing you to tailor the frosting to your personal preference. The combination of the slightly salty butter and the gentle sweetness creates a balanced and utterly irresistible topping.

Each bite offers a symphony of textures and flavors: the soft, yielding cake, the playful crunch of the sprinkles, and the smooth, velvety buttercream. It’s a treat that feels indulgent yet remains mindful of your dietary goals. This cake is wonderful on its own, or perfectly paired with a steaming mug of coffee or tea.

It’s ideal for birthdays, special occasions, or any moment you want to elevate with a touch of sweetness and celebratory flair. Enjoy a slice and savor the simple pleasures of life, guilt-free.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat your oven to 350 F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, frac34 cup Swerve (or frac23 cup for less sweetness), baking powder, and frac14 tsp kosher salt. Mix well.
    2.
    Add the coconut oil and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix well, but it doesn't need to be perfect, as you'll add milk next.
    3.
    Add the milk (any milk of your choice works). Stir well until the mixture is relatively lump-free. A rubber spatula works best to incorporate any dry ingredients from the bottom of the bowl.
    4.
    Add 2 tbsp of sugar-free sprinkles and gently fold them into the batter. Set the batter aside and spray an 8" cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
    5.
    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula or offset spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown with some darker brown spots. Let the cake cool completely at room temperature before removing it from the pan.
    6.
    The baked cake should be golden brown and delicious with some darker brown spots. Allow it to cool completely before removing it from the cake pan by running a butter knife around the edges and inverting the pan.
    7.
    Once inverted, leave the smooth bottom side up so the bottom of the cake is now the top. This provides a nice smooth surface for frosting.
    8.
    Prepare the frosting by combining completely room temperature salted butter and Swerve together in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix well with a paddle attachment for several minutes until the mixture is light, fluffy, and lighter in color. Remove the cooled cake from the pan, inverting it onto a plate or cake stand.
    9.
    Liberally dollop the frosting onto the top and sides of the cake. Use an offset spatula to smooth the sides of the cake first, ensuring no crumbs lift off into the frosting. Then, frost the top of the cake liberally. Smooth the sides using a metal bench scraper, removing excess frosting.
    10.
    Smooth the top of the cake by scraping from the outside of the cake to the inside all around the cake with the bench scraper. Now the sides and top of the cake should be super smooth.
    11.
    Decorate the cake as you wish. For this cake, use sprinkles on the outside edges. You can tint extra frosting with gel food coloring. Keep the cake chilled when not serving for easier cutting. Cut with a sharp knife and wipe the knife clean after each cut for beautiful slices.
