Chocolate Covered Keto Vanilla Cake with Fluff Topping!

OMG!  I’m so excited to share this recipe from Terri Rogers with you!  It’s a Chocolate Covered Keto Vanilla Cake with Fluff Topping!

Terri used this Swerve vanilla boxed cake but you can also use our Keto Vanilla Cupcake Recipe to make the base too!  Terri shared this recipe she came up with in our Low Carb Inspirations (plus Keto Friendly Recipes) Facebook group!  Head over to tell Terri thank you for contributing such a wonderful recipe!

This recipe takes a little bit of preparation but would make a real treat for any special occasion!  She  made these for Thanksgiving but I can also see them being made for Christmas or even Easter too!  Oh wait!  Valentine’s day too!  You could easily melt some sugar free white chocolate chips and add a bit of pink or red food coloring and drizzle it over the top of these delightful little keto vanilla cakes!  Wouldn’t that be beautiful?!!
