We’ve been attempting to make a simple yellow style cake for a long time now. It’s surprisingly hard as you can imagine, but this Breakfast Bundt Cake solves all our problems! It’s a simple cake base that you can flare up to your liking. Maybe a brown butter, cinnamon frosting? Or, better yet, add some nuts and berries to the batter for a fun twist.
Vanilla Bundt Cake Recipe
We wanted to keep it as simple as possible for this recipe to showcase the cake itself. Sure, we could have made it a cinnamon swirl cake or gone crazy with the nuts, but we wanted to leave the fun part up to you! Sometimes all you need is a good cake base and your imagination. Some delicious ways to jazz this recipe up:
- Chocolate cake with peanut butter swirled in or as a frosting.
- Cinnamon sugar cake with walnuts and a vanilla glaze.
- Lemon poppy-seed Cake (great for breakfast).
- Berries and cream cake (raspberries in the cake batter and a whipped cream topping).
As you can see the possibilities are endless, so have a little fun!
Our Favorite Low Carb Desserts!
Cake has always been one of our favorite desserts, but finding a simple cake recipe to use for all events and holidays is hard to come by on a keto recipe. That is exactly why we created this plain cake. You can frost it however you want and go crazy with the add-ins depending on the person it is for. Some other great desserts you can add your own flare to are our protein cakes, keto brownies and (blueberry) mug cake that you can easily change up the add-ins for!
Low Carb Breakfast Bundt Cake
We’ve given you the recipe you need to make any holiday, birthday party or event special. Use this simple, delicious cake base to impress your family and friends and tailor it to your liking with additions or toppings! If you plan on storing leftovers in the fridge I would highly recommend you reheat it in the microwave. This breakfast bundt cake is pretty dense and can firm up, especially in the fridge, so a quick heating through will bring the moistness back to life!

What is that fabulous chocolate glaze that you’ve put on top of the cake? Do you have a recipe for it?
Can you use a different milk besides flax milk?
Yes Any low carb milk will be fine!
Can you use coconut flour or oat fiber?
To replace which ingredient?
Yes curious do you have to use flax milk? Can I use almond milk? Thank you for sharing all your recipes and knowledge it truly has helped me along my journey!
Yes you can use any low carb milk!
Hi, do you have any suggestions for replacement of eggs on this recipe? Egg Allergy here, but would love to bake this recipe if at all possible! thanks!
Have you tried a flax egg when baking? That could work!
Looks amazing!!! Trying it this weekend.
Love you guys.
Hi! New to keto and have a question – how you determine nutritional fact, specifically carbs, when there is erythritol in the mix?
We subtract all the carbs from erythritol and other sugar alcohols.
I’m going on vacation. Want to bring this for cake for snack. Can it be baked in a loaf pan? And, does it freeze well? Also, would regular full fat milk or cream work?
Yes it will work in any pan, and you can use any low carb milk you want like almond or coconut.
This looks great, but just out of curiosity, can I use coconut flour for this?
You could try it, but you may get a very different cake.
Hello there…I am wondering how many servings are in this cake?
12 servings!
If someone doesn’t want to use sweetener, how could that be taken out and not make the cake too moist?
It should be fine! Let us know how it turns out!
I’ve been looking for a low carb rum cake recipe. I think this base would be awesome with rum extract in the batter, and I would add some chopped pecans and Sukrin Gold to the bundt pan before pouring in the batter. I can’t wait to try it. Thank you for the inspiration!
Omg I love this idea. Pecans and Sukrin gold in the pan first is genius!!
Salted or unsalted butter?? or does it matter?? Love watching you guys and love your recipes!!
It won’t matter!
I’m sorry you had to answer the same question so many times.
haha no complaints! It’s all a part of the job. 🙂 Just here to help as much as I can!
I felt the same way. LOL
That is my question too, I have not seen flax milk, but I will look up how to make it..?
You can use almond or coconut milk!
I found flax milk at Whole Foods; it’s actually really good!
I would love to know that answer about the flax milk too.
You can use almond or coconut!
This recipe looks marvelous but is flax milk a must for it to turn out properly, or, can any full fat milk work?
The video said to feel free to use coconut milk or almond milk as substitutes. They just happened to have flax milk on-hand. I know I’ve heard them say in their opinion, flax milk tastes the closest to regular milk. I imagine you could experiment with full fat milk, but regular milk has a lot of carbs in it, so it’s usually avoided if you are following a Keto diet. Good luck!
How about heavy cream? instead of flax milk or any others?
If you watch the video… Megha indicates choices… They used, if i heard correctly, the one they had on hand… Almond or other will work
I would also luv an answer to the above question, can almond milk or coconut milk be used???
Yes!
Yes read the previous comments
That’s a good question. I too would like to know. I’d probably use almond/coconut milk for a different flavor fusion.
I am wondering the same thing. I already have purchased many different products to follow the keto diet but I don’t have flax milk. This is the first I have seen it in a recipe.
Any low carb milk like almond or coconut will work fine! We like flax milk because we think it tastes the most like regular cows milk.
I’ve never heard of flax milk. Can I substitute almond milk or cashew milk?
Yes!
How long will the flax milk be good once opened? Or could it be frozen in portions? I would be buying it special for this recipe and hate to waste the rest.
You don’t have to buy it specially for this recipe, you can use almond or coconut milk if you prefer!
Hi, I use heavy whipping cream & water as I did not have either, I also used 3/4 cup Edithritol., it turned out great. Very moist. I also poured melted butter over the top when it came out of the oven, this made it very buttery.
I don’t want to add that much erithrol as it bothers me, I have liquid stevia. Do yoy think it will affect the recipe too much?? btw i love the high protein low carb approach ?
It may change the consistency, since the erythritol adds some bulk. Let us know how it goes!
I hope it doesn’t mess w my stomach just bought and am trying for the first time!! Love u guys for sure!!! Ur my new addiction!
I cannot speak to this recipe, but I did substitute liquid stevia for the erythritol in my first mug cakes using the keto connect recipe. I would give it a try.
I might also consider Truvia if I wanted stevia and erythritol.
Can you substitute flax milk with almond milk?
Yes!
