Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or coconut oil and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Prepare dry ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- Cream butter and sweetener:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered erythritol together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla:
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in vanilla extract until incorporated.
- Incorporate dry ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until smooth and well combined.
- Add sour cream:
- Fold in the sour cream until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Bake the cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Smooth the top and tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake in preheated oven:
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent the loaf pan with aluminum foil halfway through baking.
- Cool and serve:
- Remove the pound cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
- Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Serve and enjoy:
- Slice the Keto Vanilla Pound Cake and serve it plain or with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh berries, if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest batter and even baking.
- Store the pound cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- You can also freeze slices of the cake for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
