This Keto Matcha Almond Cake came about when I wanted a guilt-free dessert that paired perfectly with my afternoon tea. The nutty almond flour and earthy matcha make the fluffiest cake that’s moist, not dry — my family couldn’t believe it was low-carb! Now, it’s one of my most requested recipes for gatherings and celebrations.
๐งพ Ingredients (Serves 8)
- 2 cups almond flour (200 g)
- 2 tbsp matcha powder (high quality)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour (30 g)
- 1/2 cup erythritol or monk fruit (100 g)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 1/2 cup almond milk (120 ml)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
๐จ๐ณ Instructions — Step by Step
- Preheat oven: Heat to 175°C / 350°F. Line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment and grease lightly.
- Mix dry: In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, matcha powder, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix wet: In another bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine: Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms (do not overmix).
- Bake: Transfer batter to the cake pan. Bake 30–35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool: Let cake cool 10 minutes in pan, then move to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
- Use fresh matcha: older matcha loses color and flavor — fresh powder keeps the cake vibrant green.
- Don’t overbake: almond flour cakes dry out quickly; check at 30 minutes.
- Room-temp eggs: give better rise and even mixing.
- Optional glaze: drizzle with sugar-free white chocolate or a cream cheese frosting.
