Keto Yogurt Cake

A number of friends were telling me about a delicious yogurt cake they made. They talked about how moist it was and how it didn't need any frosting and wasn't overly sweet. I could almost taste it! Of course, the recipe they talked about had wheat flour and granulated sugar in it so I couldn't eat it but

I didn't see why I couldn't come up with my own, low carb/gluten free version and sure enough, my version is moist but not doughy like some low carb/gluten free cakes are, it doesn't crumble and it is also lightly sweetened.

I tried it topped with fruit and Confectioners' style sweetener, and a bite with custard sauce, and also a bite with whipped coconut cream. The hardship of developing recipes. Lol! All were good but my personal favorite was with fruit and a dollop of coconut whipped cream. Let et me know how you love to top yours.
