How to Make a Birthday Cake that is Delicious and No or Low Sugar
Easy to bake. Easy to love.
A birthday cake made with Swerve Cake Mix is something anyone can enjoy. From your grandmother who has to watch her blood sugar, to your little cousin who needs to eat gluten-free, or even dad, who just won’t settle for anything but delicious, Swerve has you covered.
All of the Swerve’s bake mixes are made with almond flour, coconut flour, and sweetened with Swerve, making them gluten-free, grain free, and low to no sugar. Typical bake mixes can have up to 23g of sugar and 42g net carbs per serving (and that’s without frosting!). Swerve Sweets are a much healthier choice with only 1-3g of sugar and 3-11g net carbs per serving.
It may seem a little intimidating to bake a cake for someone’s birthday, but it’s really a piece of cake! Here are some tips to help you bake your best birthday cake ever:
- Use an 8-inch round cake pan
- Heavily butter and/or line the pan with parchment paper so that the cake doesn’t stick
- Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before removing it
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it so that the frosting does not melt
- To make a light and fluffy buttercream frosting, beat with the mixer on high for at least 10 minutes
- Take your cake to the next level with one of Swerve’s many recipes like this Ding Dong Cake.
Let’s be honest, we’ve tasted a lot of healthier desserts and mixes that really just don’t make the cut. Taste is always going to be the most important factor when we’re choosing a product. And these mixes do not disappoint! The cakes have a light, fluffy and moist texture like the bake mixes we grew up on. The chocolate chip cookies taste delicious and have mini chips in every bite. Some say Swerve’s pancake and waffle mix is one of the best GF options on the shelves. Try them out and see for yourself!
Have you ever heard the saying, “cooking is an art, and baking is a science?” It’s true! Baking can be really difficult, especially when you start using alternative ingredients like almond and coconut flour. Using Swerve Sweets makes baking healthier desserts virtually foolproof by following the simple directions on the box!
