Smart Baking Company recently launched a new sugar free product for us to try -- the Raspberry Cream Smartcake!
Smartcakes are a high protein, nutritious snack cake that are only 38 calories and 0g net carbs per serving. Pretty impressive, huh?
I was so excited when I saw the e-mail about this new flavor. I absolutely love raspberries AND Smartcakes. It's almost like they made these specifically for me.
Interested to see what I thought of them? Keep reading!
Look and Feel
Each individual packet contains 2 Smartcakes that are protected by a thin layer of paper to prevent breakage.
Much like the other flavors, these were light and delicate. They have a soft, spongy texture that resembles a cupcake.
Peel back the paper and you'll find a beautiful color transition from hot pink color to light orange. It reminds me of a sunset!
The top of the cake is encrusted with bits of crystallized sweetener that adds an interesting textural component.
Each Smartcake comes wrapped in a thin layer of paper to help keep the signature shape.

Taste test
In my first bite, I couldn't identify that it was raspberry. There is an overarching berry flavor, but it didn't immediately scream raspberry.
With that being said, I thought it was delicious! I savored each and every bite.
As I made my way through the pack (I ate both... whoops), it reminded me of something familiar.
I couldn't put my finger on it. For hours.
It wasn't until I ate the second pack the following day that it hit me -- it totally reminded me of a cherry or raspberry Blow Pop!
The Raspberry Cream Smartcake is beautiful with an amazing texture!
Would I buy them?
YES! I have been enjoying Smartcakes regularly for a few years now and think they're a great option to keep on hand for Keto.
The Raspberry Cream flavor is no exception! Between this and the Lemon, I don't think I could choose a favorite!
Final thoughts: Smartcake Review
As mentioned, I'm no stranger to Smartcakes, I think they're incredible!
Specifically, I like them because:
- One Smartcake is just 38 calories and 0g net carbs! I always have room in my macros for dessert.
- Awesome for parties - I don't feel like I'm missing out when I have these with me.
- The portioning and packaging makes is super easy to travel with.
- You can decorate them with your favorite low carb frosting and toppings!
- They flat out taste good!
If you miss having a great tasting and healthy cake on the Keto Diet, you have to try Smartcakes!

How does 9g of carbs minus 5g of fiber equal zero net carbs?

Hi Judy-
You can subtract the erythritol as well as it is a sugar alcohol, making these 0g net carbs!

I love smart cakes!! I cut them in half and grill them or toast them in the toaster oven with butter, then add more butter when I eat them!! So good, and I can usually stop at 1. Cinnamon are my favorite!

Yum, that sounds like an amazing combo!
