What Makes this a "Keto" Cake"?
Conventional cakes use flour and sugar, which are high in carbohydrates and will give your body a sugar high (and crash!) We like to call this the "glu-coaster"!
This Breakfast Cake is keto because it uses upgraded ingredients!
- Coconut flour! This flour is a great gluten-free alternative to white flour that is lower in carbs and contains fiber.
- Keto sweetener! This recipe uses granular erythritol - we used Swerve brand that gives you a sweet flavor without all the sugar/carbs.
- Butter and heavy cream! Using high-quality dairy will give this cake lots of healthy fats, which will keep you satisfied and in ketosis.

What Ingredients You Need
This keto breakfast cake only needs seven ingredients:
- Eggs: Opt for organic, pastured eggs for the best taste and nutrient profile.
- Butter: We recommend unsalted butter. If possible, grass-fed butter is best.
- Heavy Cream: Opt for organic heavy cream for the best quality. You can also sub full-fat coconut cream.
- Cream Cheese: This will make the cake very creamy yet light! Opt for organic.
- Almond Extract: We recommend an organic version for the best taste! If you don't have this on-hand you can omit it from the recipe.
- Keto Sweetener: We used Swerve sweetener for this recipe, but any keto granulated sweetener will do!

How to Make the Keto Breakfast Cake
This recipe comes together in less than 30 minutes and is super simple!
- Step 1: Preheat the oven. Add butter to your skillet and put it in the oven to melt.
- Step 2: Mix the other ingredients in a bowl and add to the hot skillet once the butter has melted.
- Step 3: Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
- Step 4: Top with your desired toppings and serve!

Best Toppings for This Keto Breakfast Cake
This cake has a light almond flavor to it, so we topped it with slivered almonds, confectioner erythritol, and sugar-free syrup as a finishing touch.
You can add a keto chocolate drizzle or some low-carb berries on top!
This breakfast cake will be a hit in your family and will have them asking for seconds.
How to Store Leftovers
This recipes serves 4, but you can easily increase it to serve a larger group (like for a brunch party).
Just use additional skillets as you increase the servings.
This recipe is best served warm, but you can store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
Then just re-heat it in the oven or you can pan-fry it in a little butter in a skillet.

This was yummy! I thought it was like a French toast pancake. I didn’t have the almond extract or powder sugar, so I used vanilla extract and topped with cinnamon mixed w/ swerve as well as some sf syrup and blackberries.
Thanks for the recipe!

Thanks so much Kathy! And we love the idea of the cinnamon/swerve mix!

I was disappointed by this recipe. The “cake” was flatter than a good omelette with no fillings. I’d try again with a little baking powder to see if it might improve to make it fluffier. As for topping, I’d whip up a cream cheese frosting with some strawberries.
Glad I halved the recipe.

I added 1 tsp baking powder, and got spongey. Not going to make this again.

My 'dough' was very runny and didn't look anything like the picture so I added more coconut flour which ended up making it a puffy cake as opposed to flat. It tasted ok but will let it be runny if I make again.
