Ingredient Benefits
Butter or Tallow (for greasing) – A healthy fat that provides energy, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) for metabolic and cellular health.
Eggs – A nutritional powerhouse packed with high-quality protein, choline for brain function, and essential fatty acids to support muscle growth and satiety.
Sea Salt – Provides electrolytes and helps maintain hydration and nerve function.
Baking Soda – Acts as a leavening agent, helping to give the cake a light texture while maintaining digestive balance.
Liquid Monk Fruit or Liquid Stevia (to taste, optional) – Zero-calorie natural sweeteners that do not spike blood sugar, making them ideal for keto and carnivore-friendly desserts.
Pure Vanilla Extract – Adds natural flavor and contains antioxidants that help support cellular health.
Milk or Coconut Milk – Provides creaminess and healthy fats; coconut milk is a great dairy-free option that also contains MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) for brain function and energy.
Butter or Sustainable Palm Shortening – Enhances richness and texture while providing healthy saturated fats that support hormone production and cell function.
