*VANILLA CAKE RECIPE

This recipe is a basic sugar-free, gluten-free vanilla cake recipe that can be used for so many keto desserts like Birthday Cake, cupcakes, and this Strawberry Shortcake!

This recipe makes enough batter for a two-layer cake. After you bake this cake, simply slice it in half, horizontally to make two layers. This recipe will only use one of the layers, but you can freeze the other layer for another great keto dessert.
