Instructions
Creating this Buttery Keto Pound Cake is straightforward with these easy-to-follow steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or use parchment paper for easier removal.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Cream the Butter and Sweetener: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and erythritol together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The mixture should be smooth.
5. Incorporate Vanilla: Mix in the vanilla extract (and any optional extracts) until everything is well blended.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
7. Pour Batter into Loaf Pan: Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
8. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
These steps will provide you with a beautifully baked, golden brown cake that’s sure to impress!
