Keto Lemon Pound Cake

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (or any keto-friendly milk of your choice)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • Juice of 1 lemon

For the Lemon Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly powdered sweetener
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard-sized loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sweetener together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Mix in the sour cream, almond milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until you have a smooth batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. While the cake is baking, prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sweetener and lemon juice until smooth.
  10. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack.
  11. While the cake is still warm, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top.
