Keto Almond Cake

Keto Almond Cake Recipe – How to make the best easy low carb and sugar free almond flour dessert with 4 ingredients – with the video tutorial.

Keto Almond Cake

This keto almond cake is super easy to prepare and makes an impressive keto diet friendly treat for when sweet cravings strike.

You can enjoy a slice of the delicious cake simply with a cup of coffee as an afternoon keto dessert or decorated as a birthday cake to serve to a crowd.

The best part is that the cake has only 4 ingredients and it’s the easiest recipe to prepare. 

The 4 Ingredients

Here are the 4 simple ingredients you’ll need to make the keto recipe:

Eggs – separated and whisked separately, eggs provide light, fluffy texture to the cake.

Vanilla Extract – for a comforting vanilla flavor. You can swap for almond extract for a richer almond flavor in your cake. For a lemon flavored cake, you can mix lemon zest or lemon juice through the cake batter.

Stevia – you can use whatever ketogenic diet friendly sweeteners you usually include in your diet, choose from stevia, as I have done or use monk fruit or erythritol instead.

Almond Flour – depending on the texture you’re wanting the easy almond flour cake to be and the options you have in your pantry, you can use either almond flour, ground almonds or almond meal. The finer the texture of the flour, the finer your cake will be.

Topping Ideas

Here are ideas for toppings that are low in net carbs that you can pop on top of the cake once it’s at room temperature:

Powdered Sugar – my choice for this cake is usually sprinkling a little bit of sugar free powdered sugar over a sieve over the cake to keep it simple and elegant. 

Frosting – choose from cream cheese frosting, chocolate cream cheese frosting, chocolate whipped cream frosting or a decadent chocolate ganache to smother your low carb cake with.

Nuts – sprinkle sliced almonds, flaked almonds or toasted almonds over the center of the cake for even more nutty flavor.

Fresh Berries – top your cake with low carb diet approved fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries or blueberries or keto friendly jam like sugar free blueberry jam.
