This Classic Yellow Keto Birthday Cake with Chocolate Icing looks just like my mom used to make, thanks to Pillsbury or Betty Crocker. My version is much healthier. It is sugar-free, gluten-free, grain-free, low carb, keto, and a THM S.
That’s right, I share a birthday with one of my babies. When I found out I was due with my second child near my birthday I really hoped I wouldn’t have her on the same day. I wanted her to have her own day.
