Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)
- 1/2 cup erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk alternative)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)
For the Lemon Glaze:
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or powdered keto sweetener)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, unsweetened coconut flakes (if using), erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Add the Blueberries:
Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7. Cool the Cake:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Prepare the Lemon Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered erythritol and lemon juice until smooth. If you like, add a bit of lemon zest for extra flavor.
9. Glaze the Cake:
Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top. Let the glaze set before slicing.
10. Serve:
Slice and enjoy your Keto Blueberry Lemon Cake! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
