Carnivore Cake Recipe:

If you’re craving a carnivore-friendly dessert or snack, this Carnivore Cake is a unique, protein-packed option made with only animal-based ingredients. Rich in beef, eggs, and butter, it’s simple, delicious, and aligns perfectly with the carnivore diet.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for some fat)
  • 4 large eggs (preferably pastured)
  • 3 tbsp melted butter (cultured butter for a richer taste)
  • 2 tbsp beef tallow (optional, for extra fat and moisture)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt (to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda (optional, helps give the cake lift)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, adds a subtle sweetness, check for no sugar)
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream (optional, for extra moisture)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small cake pan (8-inch round or square) with butter or beef tallow to ensure easy removal.
  2. Prepare the Beef Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, melted butter, and beef tallow (if using).
    • Whisk well to break up the beef and fully incorporate it into the egg and fat mixture. The consistency should be a bit loose but not too runny.
  3. Add Flavoring and Rising Agents:
    • Stir in the sea salt, baking soda, and vanilla extract (if using). The baking soda helps the cake rise and gives it a slightly fluffier texture, but it’s optional.
    • If you’re using heavy cream, add it now to enhance the moisture content.
  4. Mix and Pour:
    • Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly distributed. The batter will have a dense consistency due to the beef.
    • Pour the mixture into your prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake the Cake:
    • Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the cake to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Slice into pieces and serve immediately.

Optional Variations:

  • Topping: If you want to add extra richness, top the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or more melted butter.
  • Flavor: For a more savory version, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or freshly cracked black pepper.

CREAM CHEESE:

Occasion: Breakfast, Brunch, Comfort Food

Ingredients

  • 8 slices bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces

  • ⅓ cup finely chopped sweet onion

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • ⅔ cup milk (plus more if needed for thinner cakes)

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil

  • 1 cup corn (frozen, canned, or fresh)

  • ½ cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

  • Warm maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook Bacon & Onion
    In a medium skillet, cook bacon until it begins to brown. Add onion and cook until bacon is crisp and onion is soft. Reserve 1 heaping tablespoon of the bacon-onion mixture for topping.

  2. Mix the Batter
    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, chives, baking powder, salt, and cayenne. Stir in milk, egg, and oil until just moistened. Fold in bacon-onion mixture, corn, and cheese. The batter will be thick — add a splash more milk if you prefer thinner cakes.

  3. Cook the Griddle Cakes
    Heat and lightly grease a griddle or large skillet. Pour about ¼ cup batter per cake, cooking 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.

  4. Serve
    Stack griddle cakes on plates, sprinkle with reserved bacon-onion mixture, and drizzle generously with warm maple syrup.

Tips & Notes

  • The cayenne adds a gentle heat — adjust or omit based on preference.

  • Try swapping Monterey Jack with pepper jack for extra spice.

  • Nutritional info does not include maple syrup.

Tools You’ll Need

  • Medium skillet

  • Griddle or large skillet

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Occasion: Breakfast, Brunch, On-the-Go

Ingredients

  • 4 sausage patties

  • 4 slices cheese (cheddar, American, or your choice)

  • 4 large eggs

  • Salt & pepper, to taste

  • Butter or oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Toast the Muffins
    Butter each half of the English muffins. Toast in a skillet until golden brown. Set aside.

  2. Cook the Sausage
    In the same skillet, cook sausage patties over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Set aside.

  3. Cook the Eggs
    Grease a ring mold (or mason jar lid) and place it on the skillet. Crack one egg into each mold.
    Season with salt and pepper, cooking for 2–3 minutes or until whites are set and yolks reach your preferred doneness.

    On the bottom half of each muffin, place a slice of cheese, then a hot sausage patty, then the cooked egg.

Tips & Variations

  • Slightly flatten sausage patties before cooking so they fit the muffins perfectly.

  • Use fresh eggs for the best texture and look.

  • Swap in turkey sausage, chicken sausage, or even plant-based patties for a lighter option.
