This gluten-free low-carb dump cake is not only delicious, warm, and comforting, but it's fool-proof and requires minimal effort! It has a sweetened fruit filling with a delicious buttery topping that only uses common keto ingredients you probably already have on hand.

This low-carb dump cake is warm, buttery, and SO comforting!

If you're not familiar with dump cakes, traditionally, they are an egg-free cake with a layer of pie filling, topped with dry yellow cake mix, and then topped with as much butter as you can fit on top. O. My. Goodness.

But with a few simple swaps, making a keto dump cake is just as easy and delicious!

Simply combine berries with some sweetener, lemon juice, and thickener. Then, mix together some basic low-carb dry cake ingredients (such as in my Keto Vanilla Cake Recipe!) to sprinkle over the berries.

Finally, drizzle the top with melted butter and bake!

And if you're looking for more simple desserts, I think you'll love these sugar-free lemon bars, fudgy keto brownies, keto mug cookie, low-carb blackberry cobbler, and keto lemon poppy seed balls!

Or, if you're not low-carb, this gluten-free peach cobbler from Meaningful Eats looks amazing too!

FAQ's

Ingredients

Here are the simple low-carb ingredients that you'll need:

• Mixed Berries - Or berries/fruit of choice.
• Allulose - Sweetener in the filling.
• Lemon Juice - Brightens up the flavor.
• Xanthan Gum - Thickener.
• Blanched Almond Flour - Low-carb flour.
• Coconut Flour - Another low-carb flour, very absorbent and soft.
• Cinnamon - Flavor.
• Erythritol-Based Sweetener - Sweetener in the topping, is needed for the topping to crisp.
• Sea Salt - Enhances the flavor.
• Baking Powder - For rise and texture.
• Butter - Moisture and buttery goodness!

Sugar-free sweetener

For the sugar-free sweetener in the filling, I prefer to use allulose. It tastes just like sugar, dissolves well, and has no aftertaste! A monk fruit/allulose blend and xylitol (xylitol can slightly raise blood sugar) are also good choices.

Pure allulose isn't quite as sweet as other sweeteners, so if you choose a different sweetener for the filling, reduce it to ½ cup.

An erythritol-based sweetener (such as Swerve or Lakanto) can also be used. However, erythritol doesn't dissolve as well, so you'll need to use the powdered variety, and it may lend a slight cooling-like aftertaste.

💭Tip: 1 cup of granulated sweetener equals 1 ¾ cups of powdered. So if you use powdered erythritol, use ¾ cup + 2 Tablespoons.

For the sweetener in the topping, you must use an erythritol-based sweetener so the top crisps up. However, we're using so little that there should be no aftertaste!

Serving suggestions

This low-carb dump cake goes perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or coconut whipped cream and a little bit of cinnamon sprinkled over the top!

Storage

This recipe is best served fresh. However, it can be stored tightly covered in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Substitutions

This keto cake is gluten-free, grain-free, low-carb, and keto. However, here are some more substitutions to make it fit more diets:

• Dairy-Free: Replace the butter with dairy-free butter or ghee. Just note that dairy-free butter is a bit saltier, and ghee has a much stronger butter taste.
• Paleo: For paleo, use the dairy-free options above, replace the xanthan gum with 2 Tablespoons of tapioca flour, and replace the sweetener with ½ cup of coconut palm sugar in the filling and 3 Tablespoons of coconut palm sugar in the topping.

💭 Top tips

• For the sweetener, I prefer allulose for the filling as it dissolves beautifully and has no aftertaste. And for the topping, you'll need an erythritol-based sweetener so the top will crisp up properly.
• Pure allulose isn't quite as sweet as other sweeteners, so if you choose a different sweetener for the filling, reduce it to ½ cup.
• As a special gift to my readers, I've teamed up with BESTI to give you guys 10% off! Simply use the code "CRAVEABLE" at checkout.
• For the filling, any berries, fruit, or combination of the two will work. If you use larger berries or fruit, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
• Since all berries and fruit have different sweetness levels, you may need to play around with the amount of sweetener in the filling. Use more or less according to your taste.
