Instructions

3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, melted butter, almond milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.
5. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.

Make the Frosting

1. Beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
2. Gradually mix in the powdered keto sweetener and vanilla extract.
3. Add heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
4. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
