How to Make our Christmas Gingerbread Cake Recipe
-
Preheat oven to 180C.
-
Mix the Keto Hana Cake Mix, keto soft brown sugar, and gingerbread spice in a bowl.
-
Mix the eggs and melted butter with an electric whisk for 3 minutes while slowly adding the almond milk.
-
Pour into two greased round springform cake tins and bake for 25-30 minutes.
-
Let the cake cool down before taking it out of the tin. Repeat steps 1-5 to make two more cakes.
-
In a bowl, whisk the butter with an electric whisk until it's pale and nearly doubled in size. Pour the remaining vanilla frosting ingredients and whisk for 5-10 minutes until light and fluffy.
-
Spread the frosting between each layer and all over the outside of the cake.
-
Dollop the remaining buttercream over the top of the cake and use a narrow spatula to create wave-type motions over the top of the cake.
- Decorate with keto gingerbread biscuits and sprinkle Keto Hana Gingerbread granola around the outside of the cake.
