Hi, I know here are a few baking threads and I have enjoyed some baking myself, including German style cheesecake without any sweetener, with a nice almond crust (I love them!!) However, last weekend I brought one of those cakes to a party and it was hardly touched. I was feeling so awkward. Can anyone here suggest recipes they can eat and that have been popular with Earthlings?
 
Google low carb birthday cake and you’ll get loads of recipes, in my opinion it’s best to go for a chocolate one as usually they don’t taste any different from regular cake and can be very moist

I’ve made this one but not for a long time - it’s very like chocolate fudge cake and you can’t tell the difference

 
There is a website where you can order Keto cakes. Ketoromabakery The cakes look normal and that might appeal. Difficult really. Even before I became type 2 I always had to adapt recipes . Good luck.
 
I’ve cooked this low carb carrot cake many times, and non diabetic friends have eaten it. Tastes just like traditional carrot cake.

The Best Keto Carrot Cake Recipe (Gluten-Free) – Ditch The Carbs

Finally a keto carrot cake that is so deliciousl with only 3.8G NET carbs. Easy and versatile recipe that can be used for cupcakes too.

This spice cake is very light - don't be worried that it is very runny before baking.
The stevia is mixed with erythritol, I use xylitol instead as I find the stevia mix too sweet.

Keto Spic Cake

Ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon give this keto spice cake its irresistible flavor. The crumb is super-moist while the cream cheese frosting adds the perfect finishing touch!

or I make a no added sugar chocolate mousse - melt 85 or 90% chocolate, mix with warmed double cream, whisked until fluffy, then decorated with fresh raspberries and mint leaves
 
I'd love it if my low carb cake was left just for me! Indeed, at home, family is forbidden from eating my low carb goodies. Especially they are very costly to make.
There are plenty of easy, cheaper choices for carb eaters, so let them eat their cake, and hands off mine!

Seriously though, they may just have been being polite, or unsure of anything new or different. I remember years ago taking some traditional English bread pudding into work and feeling very hurt that no one, especially those from non-English backgrounds , would even try it
 
Thank you for your understanding words. I did enjoy the leftovers (straight from the fridge it was better than at room temperature) It had also been lots of work to make the cake.

Thank you everyone for the amazing recipes. They look delicious!! Maybe I'll try one or two for a little baby shower celebration
 
With a lot of people trying to eat more healthily now could you turn this a different way? Take a bowl of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, some sugar free meringues, and cream?
