Keto Birthday Cake Chaffle Directions
-
Preheat
Preheat waffle maker to medium high heat.
-
Whisky it
Whisk together all the chaffle ingredients - egg, cream cheese, almond flour, baking powder, heavy cream, monk fruit, vanilla and cake batter extract.
-
Pour batter
Pour 1/3 of the chaffle mixture into the center of the waffle iron. Close the waffle maker and let cook for 3 minutes or until waffle set. You want this chaffle to be spongy and not crisp.
-
Remove & repeat
Remove chaffle from the waffle maker and repeat with remaining batter until you have three cake chaffles.
-
Make the frosting
While your chaffles are cooling, make the frosting. Beat the butter together in a small bowl. The longer you cream the butter, the more lighter in color it gets. Mix together butter, powdered erythritol, vanilla. Slowly add in heavy cream until you reach your desired frosting consistency.
-
Frost it
Layer your chaffle cake. Place down one chaffle and spread frosting on top. Lay down a second chaffle on the frosting and frost it's top, lay down the third chaffle. Frost the top and the sides of all chaffles.

A three tiered cake made out of cake flavored keto waffles sits between layers of a creamy low carb buttercream frosting. You will be amazed at how much this smells and tastes like real cake! All that’s missing is a 
This keto dessert recipe is easy to make. You can make anyone a birthday cake in less than 10 minutes. The cake chaffle makes a fun birthday breakfast too!
This chaffle cake is also on the smaller side, so you don’t have to worry about having tons of leftover keto cake lying around.
A chaffle is a keto waffle that is made up of primarily cheese and egg as its main ingredients. This recipe for cake chaffles adds vanilla, cream and cake batter extract to give it a vanilla cake flavor.
It’s also important to not overcook your chaffles for the chaffle cake. It’s best to have a spongy chaffle texture if you are using these chaffles to make a birthday cake. Cooking them for too long, will crisp them up a nobody wants a hard cake!
Any waffle maker will work to make chaffles, but the best waffle maker for making a three tiered keto birthday cake chaffle is the 
You can’t have a birthday cake without frosting! A simple sugar free white buttercream frosting is always a hit covered over a cake.
To make low carb buttercream frosting, it’s as simple as adding all the ingredients together and mixing until smooth. If you are looking for that creamy white buttercream frosting, make sure you cream the butter on it’s own for 3-5 minutes before adding any other ingredients. The longer you whip the butter, the more air gets incorporated in and it will fluff up and turn lighter in color.
I made this for my husband’s birthday and he loved it. The cake batter extract really made it taste like a proper cake! The texture was spongy just like noted in the recipe. I only needed a bit less frosting than suggested.
Could I substitute the cake batter extract with something else if I don’t have it on hand? Would using just extra vanilla extract give a similar flavor or would almond extract work better?
Yes, just use vanilla or even extra vanilla. Almond extract would be good too, but I think vanilla will give more of that birthday cake flavor.
This ranks top among my favorite keto desserts. I double the recipe and use a traditional waffle iron. It’s less work and there’s more for the freezer when I want something decadent. Swapped almond extract for the cake batter extract and added equal parts of almond and vanilla extracts to the frosting. Dynamite!! Thank you for creating this blue ribbon recipe.
I don’t know why but mine is floppy (firmed up some as it cooled) and has no body to the cake part – nothing like in the picture. Just like every other cream cheese based chaffle I’ve tried. The taste is ok – but the texture is nothing like the picture on this post.
The texture should be like soft like other chaffles made with cream cheese. It should be the same as my other cream cheese based chaffles. If you watch the video you can see more of what it looks like. I have other chaffle cake recipes on my website with similar textures. It also may depend on how you are mixing the batter.
10/10 for sure. It taste like a real waffle. My teenage son loved it and he is not easy to please. So delicious. Thank you
FYI, Stoka is no longer in business. There are a few other sugar free sprinkle companies out there, but reviews are mixed and taste and texture are personal. Fantastic recipe. Just have to make sure the waffles are timed right so they don’t get too dry.
Absolutely AMAZING and totally idiot proove. If you’ve never made a cake in your life you can’t mess this up its so easy and quick to do. I’ve done a few of them, people always love the result and I love its so simple to make but great in taste.
Thanks for creating and sharing this recipe- a real life saver.
Can’t wait to try this for my birthday is the monk fruit the granulated with erythritol? Your recipes are the best
Thank you! Yes, I used granulated monkfruit blend with erythritol.
If I don’t have monk fruit, what can I use to sweeten the chaffle with/ and what measurement would it be?
Thanks!

You can use any brand of sugar-free sweetener that measures cup for cup with sugar. There are lots out there and most of them do, just check the packaging.
Would this recipe work in the dash mini bundt maker?
I don’t have the mini bundt maker but I think it should work!
Yes!
Just to let everyone know. If you are missing that pancake or waffle Sunday breakfast well I am here to tell you that this Angel on earth has come to save us from our cravings!
I make chaffles weekly now! With choczero maple syrups they are exact like a regular old wheat flour waffle! Delicious!
Thank you Keto Angel! You’ve cemented my keto journey and made it so much easier with your awesome well thought out and easy to make recipes!

Thank you Dave for the wonderful review! Glad you enjoyed the chaffles!
I do quadruple the recipe here and make it in a Belgian type waffle maker. They only things I do differently is add a tablespoons of coconut flour and a tablespoon of psyllium husk powder for a crisper texture. This is measured for this recipe x4
