Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 cup Keto Granulated Sweetener (Monk Fruit/Erythritol blend recommended)
- 4 large Eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 ½ cups Superfine Almond Flour, sifted
- ½ cup Coconut Flour
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Fine Sea Salt
- ½ cup Heavy Whipping Cream or sour cream
- For Optional Glaze:
- ½ cup Keto Powdered Sweetener
- 1 - 2 Tbsp Heavy Cream or water
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease the 9x5 inch loaf pan thoroughly and line it with a parchment sling, leaving excess paper hanging over the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Sift this mixture to prevent lumps; set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sweetener on medium-high speed until the mixture is visibly pale, light, and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes). This step incorporates vital air.
- Reduce speed to medium-low. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently. Add the vanilla extract with the final egg.
- With the mixer on the lowest speed, slowly add half of the dry ingredient mixture until just combined.
- Pour in the heavy whipping cream and mix briefly until incorporated.
- Add the remaining dry mixture and mix only until no streaks of flour remain. Stop immediately to prevent the cake from becoming dense.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 60 to 70 minutes. If the top begins to brown too quickly after 35-40 minutes, loosely tent the pan with foil.
- Check doneness: The cake is done when a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, or when the internal temperature reaches 200–205°F (93–96°C).
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 20 minutes.
- Use the parchment sling to lift the cake out of the pan. Transfer it to a wire cooling rack and let it cool completely for at least 2 hours before slicing.
- For the optional glaze, whisk the powdered sweetener and 1 Tbsp of heavy cream until smooth. Add the remaining cream or water slowly until the desired pouring consistency is reached. Drizzle the glaze over the completely cooled cake.
