Check out Keto Gingerbread Cake we have both the ingredients and instructions for the loaf and the frosting, it’s the perfect low-carb dessert for any occasion.

We love Natvia sweetener and understand that it can be difficult to find in other countries (it is available on Amazon worldwide through the link above). If you cannot get your hands on it we recommend granulated Erythritol for the loaf and powdered Erythritol for the icing.
