I have the best Keto Birthday Cake you just have to make! Happy Birthday to me!! Guiltless, delicious cake! You can have your cake and eat it too while doing keto! YES! I’m so excited!
How to Make a Keto Birthday Cake?
This keto birthday cake is made with a cream cheese base and cooked in a mini waffle maker. It takes you under 5 minutes to make it! It’s super simple! Mini cakes are super popular in the keto community because of the portion size and the time it takes to whip it up.
How to Sweeten a Keto Birthday Cake?
There are a few different ways you can sweeten your keto birthday cake and still be within the keto guidelines. In this recipe we used Swerve but there are plenty of keto sugar substitutes you have to chose from. It all depends on your own taste buds.
Here are a few sweeteners we use:
- Swerve
- Pyure
- Stevia
- Xylitol (be careful if you have pets because it’s poisonous to dogs)
- Monkfruit
- Jordan’s Skinny Syrups
- Erythritol
- Splenda (Splenda will not raise your blood sugar but it might disrupt the gut flora and for this reason, I use it sparingly)
Are there Keto-Friendly or Sugar Free Sprinkles for a Birthday Cake?
Now, before the keto police come at me. Let me just say that I add those sprinkles just for the photo effect. I wasn’t in the mood to make my own out of keto-friendly sweetener and water. It just wasn’t worth my time. Feel free to make this keto birthday cake as you see fit with or without the sprinkles as they are not keto-friendly.
Update! I was just informed that they now make SUGAR FREE SPRINKLES!!! Holy Smokes! Do you know how happy this makes me?!! Here are a few options:
I also found some on this site:

What extracts Can You Use In a Keto Birthday Cake?
So, there’s a trick to this recipe in making taste like an actual cake. You need a special flavoring called cake batter extract. When we are trying to be good on keto we have to get all kinds of creative and flavorings are the way to do it! I’ve not seen a cake batter flavoring in my local stores yet. It’s not one that is common like vanilla or peppermint. You probably have to order it online and have it delivered but it’s well worth it!

Notes
If you enjoy keto chaffle recipes as much as we do, check out this huge list of some pretty amazing recipes we’ve created!
The chaffle has a great texture! You’d never believe it was low carb and gluten free. I thought I could skip using the cake batter extract but no, you definitely need that. Swerve is nearly impossible to get where I live (without ordering from Amazon) and since the store was out of my usual no carb sweetener, I used Stevia which was a big mistake as it made the chaffle bitter. For a “real birthday cake” taste, next time I am going to substitute a sugar free buttercream frosting.
This is an excellent recipe. My entire family loved it.
