Keto Gooey Butter Cake Recipe
Ingredients: For the cake base:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/3 cup powdered erythritol (or any keto-friendly powdered sweetener of your choice)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the gooey butter layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup powdered erythritol (or any keto-friendly powdered sweetener of your choice)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered erythritol, baking powder, and salt for the cake base.
- Add the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined and press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- In another bowl, prepare the gooey butter layer. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and powdered erythritol. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Slowly pour the melted butter into the cream cheese mixture while stirring continuously.
- Pour the gooey butter layer over the cake base in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
