What happens when you marry a cinnamon roll and a coffee cake? You get a spongy, moist cake filled with swirls of buttery cinnamon and topped with a vanilla creme glaze. It’s the perfect slice to enjoy with a cup of joe or make for your mama on Mother’s Day.
The BEST part about this recipe (besides that it’s absolutely delicious) is that it doesn’t require a bunch of ingredients, skill or effort. Let me explain…
Shortcuts to the best keto cake
- Use box keto cake mix – The main reason why this recipe is so easy to make is that it uses a box cake mix. Most larger grocery stores now carry keto cake mixes. Some are gluten-free, some aren’t, but ALL are simple to prepare and taste just as good or better than most keto cake recipes out there – in my opinion.
- No rolling necessary – With this low carb recipe, you can enjoy all the flavors of a cinnamon roll without having to make the dough and roll it out. Instead, swirl the sweet buttery cinnamon mixture into the cake batter.
- Bake in a square dish – One of the many perks to making a coffee cake is that it is usually a quick cake you pour into a square or rectangle baking dish instead of a circular cake pan. This recipe keeps with that effortless baking solution.
