Keto Maple-Orange Spice Cake in a Mason Jar

One morning I was having breakfast in a cafe in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and I opted for the tea that the waitress raved about and said was “imported” from Seattle. One sip of this spicy cinnamon-orange bomb and I was hooked. Several hours later I was in the MarketSpice tea shop in Seattle’s Pike Place Market buying all of the boxes I could find. I knew the flavors would be a perfect combination for a simple and wonderful mason jar cake that takes just a couple of minutes to prepare but will keep your taste buds entertained long after. If you wish, sprinkle this keto maple-orange spice cake with a little more cinnamon and/or top with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a little orange zest.

This recipe comes from my best-selling cookbook The Wicked Good Ketogenic Diet Cookbook.
