Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or stevia blend)
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside for later use.
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar substitute on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Beat in the vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
On low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and the milk to the creamed mixture in three parts, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cakes are completely cool, frost them with your favorite sugar-free frosting or enjoy them as they are!
