low carb vegan cake recipe needed

[Guna108]

Hi.
We have friends coming round for a meal to celebrate my son's birthday and I would like to make a cake that everyone can enjoy.(in moderation ) One of our guests is prediabetic and I have type 2. Please can anyone share a recipe that you use to make a sponge cake that can be iced. As we don't eat meat, fish or egg-s a vegan keto cake would seem to be the best choice, but I am no expert . I haven't found anything online with metric measurements. If you have any 'tried ansd tested' recipes I would love to see them. I have read about different sweetenders like stevia, xylitol etc and flours e.g coconut and almond, but really don't know which to use as I haven't baked anything since my diagnosis and trying to lose weight. Any recommendations would help me a lot. Thanks.

Not a sponge cake. How about the low carb carrot cake?

I was just looking at the recipe. It looks delicious in the photo- shame about the eggs (for me anyway).

This one has eggs in it, but I understand that there are standard ways to replace eggs in a recipe to make them vegan, so if you fancy this one, or another one you could have a great at the egg replacement ideas (see links).

Thanks. The low carb one looks great. I will use flax seed as an egg replacer. I'm not great at baking, so hope it turns out ok.

Spice cake recipe. Spices can be toned down for kids, but who doesn’t love cinnamon cake?

I use Swerve powdered sugar and bocha sweet or erythritol and the net carbs are well under 10 per serving. Tons of great desserts on this site, with a low carb option for many if you sub erythritol, or my favorite of bocha sweet:

That was the cake I made for my son's birthday meal. I had to adjust the recipe I used from here. It was quite a rich cake and 'heavy', but everyone liked it. Here is the recipe: 1/4 cup cocoa, 3 cups coconut flour, 1/2 cup xylitol powder, 3 tbsp coconut milk, 1 1/4 cups water. 3 tbsp coconut oil, 2 tbsp baking powder, 3 tsp Orgran egg replacer. Beat with an electric whisk. Put in preheated oven for 50 minutes at 180 C.
I couldn't find my piping bag, so the cream was kind of slapped on!

Thank you. I was a bit worried about whether it would rise or not, but it did.
