Keto Lemon Pound Cake

Keto Lemon Pound Cake Recipe

Servings: 10–12 slices

Net Carbs: ~3g per slice (depending on your sweetener and ingredients)

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 1 ½ cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 3/4 cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (or any keto-friendly sweetener you prefer)
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter texture)
• 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tbsp lemon zest (fresh, from about 2 lemons)
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Glaze (Optional):

• 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan (8×4 inches) with butter or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the wet ingredients:
   In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and sweetener until fluffy and creamy, about 2–3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
3. Combine the dry ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
4. Bake the cake:
   Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. The top should be golden brown.
5. Cool the cake:
   Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Prepare the glaze (optional):
   While the cake is cooling, mix together the powdered sweetener, lemon juice, and heavy cream in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top for a sweet and tangy finish.
7. Serve and enjoy!
   Slice the cake once it has cooled completely. This cake is perfect for a keto-friendly snack, a dessert for special occasions, or even a simple breakfast treat with your coffee.
