Easy Keto Lemon Cake

This Keto Lemon Cake is deliciously moist and combined with the cream cheese icing is now one of my favorite recipes.

It’s just enough lemon and vanilla to add a nice layer of added flavor to this keto cake. The texture of this low-carb cake is very dense and rich.

I don’t doubt that you’d be able to easily fool someone who is not following a keto diet plan.

This gluten-free cake can be made with or without icing. Lemon cake is the perfect ketogenic treat for spring and summer.

Moist and rich keto lemon cake topped with lemon icing. Deliciously lemony and tangy, and easy and fun to make!

Give this cake a try and you’ll find yourself making it again and again!

It also happens to be perfect for the upcoming spring holidays. If it doesn’t make an appearance at the birthday party, I know I’ll make it again soon.

Icing for Easy Keto Lemon Cake

This Keto Lemon Cake pairs perfectly with a lemon glaze. The lemon glaze is very easy to make.

All you need is cream cheese, butter, powdered sweetener, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk them together, and voila! The perfect icing for this keto cake.

How To Store Low Carb Lemon Cake

This Lemon cake stores very well. You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week.

If that’s not long enough, freeze it for even longer. Then, you can thaw it in the fridge. Reheating works okay, but the glaze will soak into the cake a little.

You can slice it and stick it in the freezer. Then you can take out a couple of slices at a time, put them in the fridge, and have a yummy breakfast to enjoy.
