STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING ALMOND FLOUR POUND CAKE
First step: Prepare ingredients
Prepare all ingredients and heat the oven to 200 Celsius or 390 Fahrenheit.
Regarding almond flour, you can use that or blanched almonds you have grained in your blender.
Butter should be at room temperature and sweetener, depending on what is your favorite. No need to split into dry ingredients.
Second step: Whisk eggs with sweetener
Place whole eggs together with the sweetener into the kitchen machine and mix well until fluffy light consistency.
If you want to make your perfect low carb cake a bit fluffier, you can whisk egg whites separately and fold them gently at the end before pouring them into the cake pan.
Third step: Add the rest ingredients and whisk
Once your eggs are whisked, add all other ingredients and whisk thoroughly until all combine.
Fourth step: Pour and bake
Once all is combined, pour the whole batter into a loaf pan and bake for 20 minutes.
Cover the loaf with aluminum foil to avoid burning the top, and bake for another 20 minutes.
To ensure the whole loaf is fully baked, use a wooden bbq stick or a toothpick to poke the middle of the cake.
If the wooden stick comes clean, your cake is baked and ready to enjoy.
Remove the cake from the oven, let the cake cool and serve.
Tips and tricks for easy keto pound cake:
- Extra fluffy – whisk egg whites separately and gently fold them into the cake mixture towards the end

- Parchment paper – cover your baking pan with parchment paper to ease up the cleaning afterward

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What size loaf pan to use for pound cake?
For our recipe, I have used a 30-centimeter or 12 inches in the length loaf pan. If you would love to have a higher cake, use a smaller pan.
Can you replace almond flour with coconut flour?
I would not suggest replacing almond flour in this low carb pound cake recipe as it gives our cake its delicious, distinctive light flavor.
But you can, of course, replace almond flour with coconut flour by adding only half of the amount you would typically add for almond flour.
Coconut flour is much denser and needs approximately half of the amount only.
Substitute for almond flour
If you are allergic or do not have almond flour at home, by all means, you can use one of our keto flour suggestions.
Can you make almond flour pound cake dairy-free?
You can make our almond flour pound cake dairy-free by replacing butter with one of your dairy-free alternatives.

Simply take your slices out from the freezer the night before and let them thaw naturally.
