Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups almond flour preferably blanched
  • 1 cup keto-friendly sweetener such as erythritol or monk fruit
  • 4 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Loaf pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, keto sweetener, and baking powder. Whisk together until well mixed, aiming for an even, fine mixture with no lumps.
    2 cups almond flour
  3. Add eggs one at a time to the dry mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition until the batter is smooth and slightly thickened. The mixture should become pale and slightly viscous.

  4. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is uniform with a glossy appearance and no streaks of butter remain.

  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Gently tap the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The loaf should feel firm and spring back slightly when pressed.

There you have it, your perfect keto pound cake—moist, fluffy, and packed with flavor! For an extra special touch, try topping slices with a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate or fresh berries.
