🍋 Keto Lemon Pound Cake – Moist, Zesty & Low Carb

Summary: I’ve always loved lemon desserts, and this keto lemon pound cake is one of my go-to treats when I want something fresh and indulgent without the sugar crash. It’s light, zesty, and perfect with a cup of tea. This cake has a nice tang from the lemon, and the texture is soft without being too dense—just how I like my pound cake.

📝 Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• ¾ cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 4 large eggs
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Zest of 1 lemon

2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sweetener until light and fluffy.
3. Add melted butter, lemon juice, zest, vanilla, and heavy cream. Mix until well combined.
4. In another bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and level the top.
6. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Let it cool completely before slicing. Optional: drizzle with a keto lemon glaze.
