Keto Pound Cake is a fabulous low carb treat to satisfy your sweet tooth without worrying about kicking out of ketosis. It’s soft and moist, buttery and rich – a great treat for dessert or even just something light to pair with tea or coffee. Not to mention, this keto pound cake uses almond flour and coconut flour instead of having to rely on sugar- and-refined-flour-filled ingredients (because no one really wants to eat that old-school version when something so much healthier can taste as good) to keep the carbs low but flavour bangin’. The best part is, it’s easy to throw together and involves little more than items already in a keto kitchen.
Whether you’re a keto beginner or an old keto pro, this pound cake recipe is an instant favorite dessert. That’s not overly sweet, so it is capable of being compatible with whipped cream, berries or even a sugar-free glaze drizzled on top. Great for hosting family or a little self-spoiling, and proof that you don’t need to say goodbye to tasty sweet treats on a low carb diet! You’ll see once you give it a try how anything but deprived keto baking can feel.
