Is This Cake Good for Making Ahead of Time?

making healthy sugar free cake

I love that this cake can be made ahead of time, especially when I’m planning for a special occasion or just want to have a treat ready for the week. After baking, I let the cake cool completely, then I store it in the fridge.

The whipped cream frosting can also be made in advance and stored separately until I’m ready to serve. When I’m ready to enjoy it, I simply frost the cake, and it’s as delicious as if I’d just baked it.

By making these simple adjustments, you can enjoy a delicious, low-carb, sugar-free, and dairy-free dessert that satisfies your sweet cravings without compromising your dietary needs.

Top Tip: I recommend letting your eggs and cream cheese come to room temperature before you start. It makes mixing a breeze and helps you get a smooth, perfect batter.

Notes

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature before mixing. This will help ensure a smoother batter and a better texture for the cake.
  • Avoid Overmixing: When folding the egg whites into the cream cheese mixture, be gentle. Overmixing can deflate the egg whites and result in a denser cake.
  • Use a Non-Stick Pan: If you don’t have a springform pan, a non-stick round baking tray works well. Just ensure it’s well-greased to prevent the cake from sticking.
  • Check for Doneness: The cake is done when the top is golden brown and it slightly springs back when gently pressed. If it’s too pale, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, but avoid overbaking to keep it moist.
  • Customize Your Toppings: While the whipped cream frosting is delicious, you can also top the cake with fresh berries, a dusting of cocoa powder, or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate for added flavor and presentation.
