Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 6” cake pans or line cupcake pans with liners. This recipe makes 6 jumbo cupcakes.
- In a large bowl add some of the ingredients: coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and 3/4 cup of erythritol sweetener.

coconut oil or plant butter, and the remaining 3/4 cup erythritol sweetener. - Beat in 8 eggs ONE AT A TIME, beating well after each addition.

- Cool 10 minutes in pan on racks. Run a knife around edge to loosen cake and allow to cool completely before frosting.
- Make cream cheese frosting. Beat together until fluffy:
2 (8 oz) pkg non-dairy cream cheese 1/2 cup butter-flavored coconut oil 2 tbsp vanilla almond milk - Slowly add sweetener at medium speed and beat until smooth.
⅓ – ½ cup erythritol sweetener, powdered (Swerve) - Once cake is cool, assemble and frost.
Notes
I have made the frosting with Earth Bound butter also instead of the cream cheese and coconut oil. I use 2 cups of Earth bound butter and I cup of powdered sugar and approximate the milk. I sometimes add vanilla or other flavoring or food color. My fellow Keto-Partner in crime calls me the “scientist.” I call it having fun experimenting. Lucky for me my family eats my experiments as some are what I call “Labors of Love.”
Superb taste!!
