Ohhh yes—Keto Almond Cake 🍰🌰—moist, lightly sweet, and perfect when you want dessert without blowing ketosis. This one is simple, classic, and bakery-good, not dry or eggy.
Keto Almond Cake
Ingredients (9-inch round or square pan)
- 2 cups almond flour (fine, blanched)
- ¾ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract (optional but amazing)
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- Optional topping: sliced almonds, powdered sweetener
Instructions
- Preheat & prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease pan and line with parchment if possible. - Mix dry ingredients
Whisk almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. - Mix wet ingredients
In another bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, vanilla, almond extract, and almond milk. - Combine
Stir wet ingredients into dry until smooth and thick. - Bake
Pour batter into pan, smooth top, sprinkle with sliced almonds if using.
Bake 30–35 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. - Cool
Let cool completely before slicing—almond flour firms up as it cools.
Pro Tips
- Use powdered sweetener to avoid graininess.
- Don’t overbake—almond flour dries out fast.
- Want it extra moist? Add 2 tbsp sour cream or cream cheese to the batter.
