Jesus’ Birthday Cake
~Trim Healthy Mama, Paleo, & Keto Friendly~
Christmas is almost here and one of our favorite traditions is making Jesus a Happy Birthday Cake! This year we decided to adapt the Trim Healthy Mama Special Occasion cake as our Birthday Cake for Jesus to stay on track with our health goals!
Check Out the Recipe Below…
This icing is best pre-made and chilled in the fridge. It should harden up like butter, so remove from the fridge half an hour before icing your cake. Once icing is of a spreadable consistency, spread a half-inch layer on one of the cakes, then place the other cake on top.
The icing will be like mortar between bricks. In my opinion, a nice layer of stevia-sweetened whipped cream on the top of this cake sets it off to rival any cake found at any fine dining restaurant. If you don’t want to spend the time or extra money on the above icing recipe, try the recipe below. Use it in the same fashion as the filling between the layered cake.
This cake is delicious with homemade stevia-sweetened ice cream, or our Polar Bear Soft Serve ice cream. If you are not of the “purist” camp and don’t mind a little Splenda every now and then, you can have this cake with Breyer’s Carb Smart Ice Cream.
