This will become your go-to cake for birthdays or holidays! Keto cinnamon brown sugar cake is healthy because it’s made with zucchini!
Keto Zucchini Cake
There are so many delicious things you can make with zucchini! I’ve made savory keto zucchini boats, crispy keto bacon-wrapped zucchini bites, and sweet keto pumpkin zucchini bread.
So, if you have a bunch of garden zucchini that you need to cook up, then this recipe is perfect for you! This cake tastes just like a store-bought sheet cake.
It’s so moist, and the cinnamon flavors are popping! Plus, the cinnamon cream cheese frosting is the perfect topping.
You can use the frosting on so many other recipes, too.
Cinnamon Brown Sugar Cake
I love the combination of cinnamon and sugar in recipes! It reminds me of cinnamon french toast!
It’s just an iconic duo. And it transforms a basic cake into something that everyone gobbles up!
The cake is made with almond flour and almond milk. Remember to use almond flour, not almond meal.
If you use almond meal, the cake will taste grainy. And when you buy almond milk, get the plain, unsweetened variety.
Vanilla almond milk will change the flavor of the cake, and sweetened almond milk might kick you out of ketosis.
Cinnamon Zucchini Cake
Prevent the cake from being too soggy or moist. To do this, grate the zucchini and then put it in a cheesecloth and squeeze out as much of the excess liquid as you can.
Another tip that will take your cake to the next level is to use salted butter. I didn’t use any salt in the cake batter. Salted butter will enhance all of the flavors.
What To Eat With Cake
This is the perfect cake to serve at birthday parties or any party where you need to feed a lot of guests.
If you’re going to serve it at a party, then make some keto crispy cinnamon cream cheese roll ups. They taste like churro cheesecake.
Or you can just go ahead and make a keto cheesecake! It’s so easy and tastes amazing with the zucchini cake.
Add some keto-friendly ice cream on the side. It will taste delicious with the cream cheese filling in the cake.
How To Store Cake
This cake is freezer-friendly. If you want to freeze it, place it in a freezer-safe container or wrap each piece of cake in aluminum foil and store it in the freezer for up to six months.
I suggest placing the cake in an airtight container and keeping in the refrigerator for up to three days.
