- 1/4 tsp salt
- 10 tbsp butter softened 150g
- 1/2 cup powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener 100g

- 2 tbsp light or heavy cream 30g, 18% cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener 150g
- Additional sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350*F.
- In a bowl whisk together all of your dry ingredients, except the sweetener and sprinkles.
- In another bowl, beat together the butter, sweetener and extracts until light and fluffy. Add your eggs and beat once more (don't worry if this mixture has an bumpy texture, sometimes the sweetener will do that but it will turn out fine)
- Add your dry ingredients to the wet and mix until everything is fully combined.
- Add the sprinkles and mix once more.
- Spread this mixture into a 9x9 pan using a spatula to smooth out the top.
- Bake for 20-23min or until golden brown on the top and edges. (see photos)
- While the cake is cooling, make your frosting by combining the softened cream cheese and butter in a stand mixer or bowl. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add your vanilla extract, sweetener and cream and beat once more until light and fluffy.
- Make sure the cake is completely cooled before attempting to remove it and frost it.
- To remove the cake, run a knife around the sides, jiggle the pan slightly until you know the cake is loose, then flip it onto a plate.
- To frost the cake, use a spatula and gently spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cake. Add sprinkles!
- Slice into 16 bars and serve immediately OR place the cake in the fridge to harden the frosting, then slice the bars for less mess. Serve at room temperature. Enjoy your Keto Funfetti Birthday Cake Bars!
Notes
Tips
- When making these, you'll notice the cake browns more than a traditional cake. Don't freak out! You cake will not be dry. Keto desserts tend to brown a little more in terms of cakes and muffins. It's nothing to be alarmed about. The inside and even those slightly brown edges will be super soft still!
- When removing your cake from it's pan, I like to take a knife and gently run it along the sides, then kind of jiggle it around a bit until I know it's loose. Then I flip it on to a plate where I can frost the bottom (which, now becomes the top).
- When slicing these into bars, wipe your knife in between for clean cuts and no messy frosting.
- If you want, add a couple drops of food colouring to your frosting to make these bars pop even more!
