Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with 1 tbsp butter and line the bottom with parchment paper.

- Step 3: In a separate bowl, beat 3 large eggs with 1/2 cup erythritol and 1 tsp vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Slowly add 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter and whisk to combine.
