Blueberry Lime July 4th Cake

Keto Recipes > Keto Dessert Recipes

Happy 4th of July Week everyone! This week is going to be a grilling sensation in my house and I have to make some things that’ll compliment all the delicious meat and vegetables that’ll be passed around the table. A cake was definitely being made, and I experimented around because I really wanted something light, sweet, and packed full of flavor. Not to mention, we can’t go around having dry as a desert…dessert, can we?

Well, blueberries and lime come together in this for a delicious sweet and tart combination that balances itself out with just the right amount of acidity. Each bite comes together just perfectly, leaving only a few fresh blueberries at the top for that extra kick of sweetness and the blueberry extract to bring the taste while mellowing out the flavor profile at the end. The cream cheese that we add to the cake seals the deal. It makes the cake SO moist that it almost falls apart in your mouth…who said everything has to be dry on keto?

So, what are you going to be doing for July 4th? Let us all know your keto recipes and idea for this upcoming holiday in the comments below! I’m going to be setting up station, throwing a heck of a lot of steak on the grill, and serving up meat with bacon wrapped asparagus for July 4th. Dessert? Well, you know exactly what dessert will be!
