Carnivore Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef (grass-fed for the best quality)
1/2 lb pork sausage (or bacon for added flavor)
4 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream (optional for a richer texture)
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup beef bone broth or chicken broth (for added moisture)
2 tablespoons beef gelatin (optional, helps with texture and structure)
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
1 tablespoon finely grated parmesan cheese (optional for a savory touch)

Instructions:

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round cake pan or a loaf pan with some butter or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Cook the Ground Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and pork sausage (or bacon) until fully browned. Stir occasionally to break up the meat and ensure it cooks evenly. Drain excess fat if desired, or leave some for added richness.
Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream (if using), melted butter, and beef broth. The cream and broth add moisture to the cake, ensuring it doesn’t dry out. You can skip the cream if you prefer a more strict carnivore recipe.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the beef gelatin (if using), salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. These seasonings are optional, but they can enhance the flavor and texture of your cake. You can adjust the seasonings to your taste.
Mix Everything Together: Add the cooked meat mixture to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Then, fold in the dry ingredients (seasonings and gelatin) and mix until everything is well incorporated. The mixture should have a somewhat doughy consistency due to the meat and eggs binding together.
Transfer to the Pan: Pour the meat mixture into the prepared cake pan or loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top and evenly distribute the meat. If you’re using parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the top for a cheesy crust.
Bake the Cake: Bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the center is firm and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. The cake will have a savory, hearty texture that’s quite different from a traditional cake. You may notice a golden crust on top, especially if you used parmesan.
Cool and Serve: Let the carnivore cake cool for about 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Slice into portions and serve hot or at room temperature.
