- Lightly grease a 9-inch cake pan with a little butter and pour in the mix. Spread it around the top to be even.

Notes
This recipe serves 8 and contains 4 net carbs per serving.
- Make sure the eggs are at room temperature, and the butter is softened, but not completely melted. If you are about to bake the cake and the eggs are still cold, place them in lukewarm water (not hot) and let them sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Do not try to substitute the flours unless you're really sure you know what you're doing. Keto cakes can sometimes be tricky, and just a small change can make the cake too wet or too dry.
- When baking the cake, if the inserted toothpick comes out clean, and the top of the cake looks a bit firm, it's time to bring it out. If you wait till the top is completely firm, you might burn the cake.
