The keto birthday cake recipe will only keep you busy in the kitchen for 20 minutes, leaving the rest of the time to you. You can attend to all your other birthday tasks while allowing the cake to rest for 1 hour. If you're uncertain about your refrigerator's cooling efficiency, let the cake cool for 2-3 hours.
Consider using a few fruits compatible with the keto diet for the topping. This creates a more colorful topping and enhances the cake's flavor even further. Feel free to use raspberries and strawberries; they are delicious and keto-friendly.

Notes
You don’t have to chop the dark chocolate very finely. A coarse chop will suffice, as it will melt into the heavy cream anyway. Cook over low heat until the chocolate sauce thickens.
