Keto Red Velvet Cupcakes

Cultural Context

Red velvet cake has its roots in the Southern United States, where it became a popular dessert, especially around special occasions. Traditionally made with a rich, velvety texture and a hint of cocoa, it is often paired with cream cheese frosting. The keto version adapts this classic treat for those following a low-carb lifestyle, allowing fans to enjoy the flavors without the guilt. Today, keto red velvet cupcakes are a delightful option for parties and gatherings, appealing to both keto dieters and dessert lovers alike.

4 g baking soda (1 tsp)
20 g erythritol (1 1/4 tbsp)
1/2 tsp salt
4 g unsweetened cocoa powder (1 tsp, optional)
4 large eggs (about 60 g each with shell)
60 ml melted unsalted butter (1/4 cup)
240 ml whipping cream (1 cup)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp white vinegar
6 tsp red food coloring
113 g unsalted butter (room temp, 1/2 cup)
225 g cream cheese (room temp, 8 oz, 1 cup)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
120 g powdered sweetener (1 cup)

almond flour

🥗Healthier: coconut flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Coconut flour is lower in carbs, but use less due to its absorbency.

erythritol

🥗Healthier: monk fruit sweetener

💰Cheaper: sugar

Monk fruit sweetener is calorie-free, while sugar is cheaper but not keto-friendly.

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt is lower in calories, while ricotta is often less expensive.

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: coconut cream

💰Cheaper: milk

Coconut cream provides a rich texture, while milk is more affordable.

1

Preheat the oven at 340°F (170°C).

2

In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients until well combined.

3

Add all the wet ingredients (except the red food coloring) and whisk until well combined. The batter should be smooth and thick.

4

Add the red food coloring and mix until well combined.

5

Spoon the batter into paper cups. In the video, I used small but firm paper cups, and I got 11 cupcakes out of this recipe.
