I know right about now several weeks after Christmas, you need a sweet treat and I have something you’re going to love. Sugar free coconut cake using Swerve’s Vanilla Box Cake Mix will be just the thing to celebrate winter.

You can choose to make sugar free coconut cupcakes or a one sugar free coconut layer cake. The frosting can be a buttercream or a cream cheese coconut frosting using Swerve’s confectioner’s sugar. I replaced the water with coconut milk, used unsweetened coconut flakes, and a little bit of coconut extract.

What is Swerve or Who is Swerve?

Swerve is powdered erythritol that comes granulated and confectioner’s texture. I write about it a lot because it’s what I make all my keto friendly low-carb desserts with. It does not spike blood sugar and passes through the body without any carb or calorie count. Swerve is a tiny company in New Orleans, working very hard to bring really delicious sugar free options for people avoiding sugar, for diabetics and for those following the keto or low-carb diet.

Can I tell you something? I lost five pounds in the last year eating dessert every night like this sugar free coconut cake.

What is the Swerve Vanilla Box Cake Mix?

You can find these at your local grocery store or on-line at Amazon.

Some question the use of tapioca flour. It is minimal adding under 7 carbs for the whole cake mix.  Carolyn at All Day Long I Dream About Food answers this thoroughly at this post,  and gives some additional thoughts on the Keto diet. She also has a killer Ding Dong Cake using the Swerve Chocolate Box Cake Mix.

If you want to make these cupcakes from scratch without tapioca scratch , I have a sugar free, grain free coconut cupcake recipe here.
