Coconut and vanilla is a perfect combination if you want to make somebody fall in love with you. These two are the main ingredients for making the recipe we want to show you today.
Keto Vanilla Cake is an easy dessert made in less than 40 minutes. Vanilla gives it that rich flavor that fits good with its sponge texture.
Coconut flour is a good source of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber that has a significant role in the reduction of LDL and serum triglycerides. (*) Coconut provides some minerals and vitamins which make it very nutritious and needed in every diet.
Eggs contain proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals that play an important role in the human body. It has one important component named lecithin which is the required nutrient for normal brain function.
Egg whites are complete protein sources which means they contain all essential amino acids. The human body is not able to produce those acids so you need to feed it with the nutrients it needs the most.
Our bodies are smarter than we think, but we have to provide them with the most quality food. If you want to get more proteins, you can always add some egg whites in whatever food you make.
We chose shredded coconut flakes blended for a minute as a topping for Keto Vanilla Cake. Melted dark chocolate would be also a good solution because that sweet taste of the cake is the perfect combination with bitter chocolate flavour.
This dessert is perfect for sharing with your friends. With a cup of coffee, you can sit for hours, talk and enjoy the life you live.
