Yes this really is a completely carnivore cake! I've been wanting to experiment with this for a while and for my birthday last week I finally made it.
I didn't use any sweetening for this. I made it with my recipe for 2-ingredient pancakes, layered and "frosted" with whipped cream. Don't expect it to taste like a decadent red-velvet confection, but it was a nice treat that tasted just like what it is- mild crepes with whipped cream! Best of all, you CAN have your cake and be carnivore too!
This kind of thing isn’t for everyone. I understand that the simplicity of carnivore and not having to make substitutes of old favorites foods is one of the beauties of this diet. This is also more dairy than a lot of people would eat. But I also think it’s fun to get back in the kitchen sometimes and make something different and beautiful!
Instructions
- Make a dozen or so small crepes using my recipe for 2-ingredient pancakes. This recipe just uses cream cheese and eggs.
- Use beaters to make stiff whipped cream. 1/2 to 1 cup of cream should be more than enough. I chose to add some vanilla to my whipped cream.
- Start layering the pancakes, spreading a thin layer of whipped cream between each one.
- Once all the crepes are stacked, gently trim in a circle around the edges with a sharp knife to make even sides. If this is difficult to do without damaging your cake, cooling it in the fridge or freezer first will help.
- Finish by frosting the outside and top of the cake with more whipped cream.

This is awesome! I love the idea of finding a way to have "cake" that still remains within the boundaries of eating animal based. Not only is this carnivore, this "cake" is also low in oxalate - which is another nasty compound found in plants, that not only causes kidney stones, but appears to have other (wide-ranging and negative) health effects as well. I follow a low oxalate way of eating, and specialize in this diet in my work with clients, but have been moving towards carnivore for some time. But so many end up feeling "deprived" as the diet becomes more limited. What I love here is that this recipe helps to put to bed the idea of deprivation.…
