Equipment

  • 1 upright or hand mixer

Ingredients
  

Cake Batter

  • 2 cups pork rind flour
  • 1/2 cup glycine
  • 1/2 cup inositol
  • pinch stevia or monk fruit extract (to tast) optional
  • 1 cup cream
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoons baking soda
  • 3/4 cup blueberries optional; ingredient of carnivor-ish variation pictured here

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 6 ounces butter
  • 1/4-1/2 cup raw honey
  • 1/4 cup inositol
  • 1/4 cup powdered glycine
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest optional; ingredient of carnivor-ish variation pictured here

Instructions
 

Batter

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease one large cake pan or two smaller pans (I used two eight-inch diameter smaller pans) and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  • Thoroughly mix pork rind flour with glycine and inositol.
  • Heat the cream until it just begins to bubble around the edges and mix into the dry ingredients.
  • Separate the egg yolks from the whites and mix yolks into the batter.
  • OPTIONAL: Add blueberries to batter mixture if you'd like to try a fun carnivore-ish variation.
  • Whip egg whites on high in a kitchen aid or with a hand blender until they form stiff peaks.
  • Gently fold egg whites into batter mixture.
  • Add baking soda and baking powder and quickly pour batter into cake pans before placing in the oven.
  • Bake for thirty to thirty-five minutes or until a fork comes out clean. Let cool completely before icing.

Frosting

  • Let butter and cream cheese come to room temperature.
  • While doing so, grind 1/4 cup of glycine in a coffee grinder until it becomes a fine white powder.
  • Put cream cheese and butter in a bowl and add powdered glycine and inositol as well as 1/4-1/2 cup of raw honey, depending on desired sweetness.
  • OPTIONAL: Zest one lemon and add to cream cheese, butter, and sweeteners if you'd like to go for some spicy carnivore-ish variation.
  • OPTIONAL: Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract if desired and/or tolerated.
  • Whip in a kitchen aid or with a hand blender until smooth. Chill un the refrigerator until the cakes have cooled completely.

Notes

Pork rind flour cake can be a bit finicky and has a tendency not to gain as much altitude in the center as around the edges if conditions are not just so. If this happens, all is not lost. Cut the edges off with a sharp knife and make carnivore ice cream cake bites by mixing excess bits of cake with icing, molding into balls, and freezing.
