🍰 Why This Cake Works

This recipe avoids dry, crumbly textures common in keto cakes by balancing almond flour with enough moisture from eggs, almond milk, and butter. The apple cider vinegar reacts with baking powder to give a subtle lift without using all-purpose flour. And the ganache? Pure heaven.
