I sometimes get emails from a couple called "Team Terry Keto" because I like their YouTube videos, so I signed up for recipes from them. This time, I got a recipe for a two ingredient cupcake and I was excited. I have been craving sweet something for a bit now and my preference is cake or cookie textured sweets. This recipe was right up my alley!
The first ingredient calls for a Keto cake mix. Never heard of such a thing, but I was taking them on faith, so I went to my local grocers and looked for such a thing. Nothing. All I could find was sugar-free cake mixes that had something like 36 carbs a serving!!!!
My next source to check was Amazon. I found the perfect Keto cake mix there.

But I was determined to try out this recipe, so I ordered it in chocolate and waited for it to arrive.
It came the next day so I was all ready since I had purchased the second ingredient during my search for the cake mix.
The second ingredient is Greek Yogurt. Seems strange to me, but I was going for it.
To the cake mix you add 2 cups of the yogurt, mix well, fill prepared cupcake pan (only filling each well 1/2 way) and bake for 23 minutes at 350 degrees.
I was so excited. I stood by the stove and watched my lovely cupcakes cook. When the timer went off, I carefully took them out to cool. About 2-3 minutes later, they all fell and I had wells in the tops of each cupcake. Oh, well. I wasn't going for beauty, I was going for taste. No picture because they were really ugly!
Once they were all cool, I eagerly peeled the paper off the cupcake and took my first bite. It was good! It was really good! I was so happy, but it was a very expensive sweet treat. It made 16 cupcakes, so when I divided that into the cost, it was around $.82 for each cupcake.
I knew I would not nor should not eat all of them at once, so I carefully wrapped them up in paper towel and placed the extras in a plastic bag. Careful to remove the air, I then put them in the refrigerator for future snacking.
So far, it has been 1 week since I baked them. I have doled them out at 1 per day after lunch. They are still delicious and moist and tender. I am so excited about this recipe. But, I feel there still has to be a better way than a $7.00 cake mix.
I found a YouTube video from "Victoria's Keto Kitchen" and she shares her recipe for making Keto flour that you can use for any recipe that calls for white flour. She bakes with it, uses it to bread meat, and cooks with it all the time. I was really excited to check it out, but as of now I have not. I still need to get some of her ingredients; I have everything except Egg Protein Powder (which I have never heard of). Here is the video: https://youtu.be/iiPerJqEZ_c
So now I am off to Amazon again to see if they have it. If so, I will get some and try out her recipe. I can then make my own cake that is a keto cake! I am so excited. I will let you know how this turns out.
But, in the meantime, the cupcakes were to die for so I recommend you try them out. Maybe find a Keto icing for them. I did not bother with icing, but maybe I will try that when I make them again.
Please let me know if you make these and tell me what you think of this quick sweet recipe.
