 Quick Frosted Vanilla Berry Cake, grain free with low carb option / beautyandthefoodie.comPin

 

  Quick Paleo Frosted Vanilla Berry Cake  is a fast, grain free, healthy, and single to double serve cake with a low carb option. Great for when you’re on the go.

Even if you make it in the oven, it is still pretty quick. I love fast, single serve snacks because it is portion control for me and I don’t have entire tray of goodies sitting around calling to me. This cake is actually big enough for two portions or one if you’re still hungry. I decided to use the cashew meal I had purchased, and to my surprise it rises a lot higher that coconut flour or almond flour. So, you may see it actually rise over the top of the ramekin, but it doesn't make a mess and it goes back down a little when it is done. Still, the cake was much taller than I thought it would be.  A good surprise for a change!

I decided to add blueberries and vanilla, and topped it with a vanilla frosting made from a coconut butter base. You can use any kind of favorite berries, but I used blueberries as they are very nutrient dense. I am always trying to add more blueberries to my diet. That being said, I know you will want to hear my favorite blueberry story.

My husband has an employee that is over 70 at his work, and he is more active and vibrant than most the guys in their 20’s at his work. He asked him “what is your secret?” and the man said “I eat blueberries every day”. After that my husband insists that we eat blueberries every day. So, there you have it, this is practically an anti-aging cake, lol.

    I just discovered your lovely blog today and I am so excited to try out some of the paleo recipes on it. Thank you for taking the time to post them.
    I haven't seen cashew flour locally either. I do have a bag of almond flour though. Do you think I could substitute or would the cashew give a much better/different result?

      Heidi, I buy cashew meal at Trader Joe's in the nut section, or you can make it in a food processor by grinding raw cashew halves or pieces until fine grain meal forms. But you can sub with almond flour in the exact same amount. I have not tried it with almond flour but it is pretty similar.

    Is there something I could use in place of coconut butter? I have everything else on hand but haven't been able to find that.

      Rene, yes you can replace the coconut butter with 1/2 tbsp coconut oil and 1/2 tbsp milk of choice.

    looks really yummy and can't wait to try it. Quick question...Is there a difference between cashew "meal" and cashew "flour"? I've seem popping up in recipes lately, don't have any, and not sure if they are one in the same. Assuming "meal" might be a bit more course ground?

      Kymber, you could use the cashew meal or flour. I believe the meal is a little more course ground. I always buy or make the meal, as I have not been able to find the flour where I live.
