Theres something so beautifully striking about the rich hue of a red velvet cake. I’ve dyed this one naturally using raw beets, which results in a beautiful pink hue. To get the best results, leave the beet raw and blend it as per the method below — cooking the beet first seems to reduce the colour somewhat.

It is a bit of a trade off with this healthy low-carb cake to get the colour right — there is a slight earthiness to it from the beetroot, but it’s balanced out by the cocoa, low-carb sweeteners and keto-friendly icing. If you aren’t too concerned about the colour you could reduce the amount of beetroot, but my taste-testers where all quite happy with the subtle beet tones. But just a heads up in case you’re not a fan of beetroot! (You could always use a bit of natural red food dye.)

To get the best texture for this keto celebration cake, I mix all of the dry ingredients in a high-speed food processor to ensure the almond meal and erythritol is finely ground, which ensures the batter is properly combined and produces a slightly lighter crumb. If you are able to find fine almond flour, you could skip this step and simply sift the dry ingredients and combine in a bowl.

This keto treat is perfect for any occasions including birthdays, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day!
