At first sight the two cakes look similar, but the Low-Carb Mirror Glaze Cake is lower in carbs, sugar and gluten-free and is missing the gelee (jelly) layer. The ingredients and steps are pretty similar for both recipes. What is Mirror Glaze? Mirror glaze is glossy and smooth cake glaze with a sheen, so you can see your reflection in it.
Place a can on top of a baking sheet, then carefully unmold the cake onto the can. Make sure to work quickly and that the glaze is already prepared. When the mirror glaze is between 90 and 96°F (32 - 35°C) , pour the glaze over the cake in a circular motion, making sure to start in the center and work your way outwards.
The good news is that like cheesecakes, keto glaze for cake or any other baked goods is one of the easiest recipes you can swap out ingredients to create a keto sugar free version. The It’s true not all sweeteners convert one to one with sugar. However making a sugarfree glaze is very possible.
This sugar free glaze is definitely what you need to eat your cake and have it. Add water or heavy cream to powdered sweetener starting with 2 Tablespoons. Add vanilla extract, mix to combine. Check consistency of glaze and add more liquid to your desired consistency.
