Coffee lovers are going to ADORE this frosted coffee frappuccino sheet cake! It’s big on the coffee flavor and frosted high with a whipped cream cheese frosting. (gluten-free and THM-friendly)
You’re looking at the cake that I’d take over an actual Starbucks frappuccino any day.
But hey, coffee on the side of my frappuccino sheet cake? I’ll take it.
You’re also looking at the cake that won me major daughter points. Mom requested a cake that fit with her diet (any THM followers out there??) and I took that to mean that she wanted the following:
- Coffee snuck into the deal SOMEHOW.
- That whole half-frosting-half-cake thing we’ve got going on.
- A cake you could feel GOOD about eating cause the word “healthy stuff” is the deal sealer when we’re talking about cake. The end.
SO. I’m super-freaking new to THM baking but I’ve slowly been trying to branch out and try more recipes that follow this diet since my mom and sister are both following it and RAVE about its amazing effects. I wasn’t expecting a ton of success from this cake, but heeeeeeeey……..we got a WINNER.
Let’s talk cake batter. Nitty-gritty details are in the actual recipe but for a quick run-through >>> wet ingredients are gonna consist mostly of eggs + whites, melted coconut oil, an ENTIRE cup of brewed coffee, and vanilla. For dry we’ll have Baking Blend for flour (again, details in the recipe!) baking powder, erithytol, (< ditto) and salt.
Mix ‘er up, bake ‘er up and direct your attention towards frosting. It’s a whipped cream cheese frosting, guys. And there’s a lot of it. And it’s really really REALLY good.
I mean, it better be. It’s covering approximately 65% of our entire cake deal.
Oh man. You’re not even gonna believe this cake, guys. It’s soft, it’s rich, it’s HUGE on the coffee flavor, and you can totally throw that guilt out the window.
It feels like a cake for breakfast kinda day. Ya feel me?
