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.

Keto Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

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.

4 Eggs, separated
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/2 Cup Stevia, or your sweetener of choice
2 Cups Almond Flour, Ground Almonds or Almond Meal

Preheat the oven to 350F/180C and line a springform pan with well greased baking parchment paper.
Pour the egg whites into a large mixing bowl and whisk with an electric mixer until thickened and stiff peaks form.
In a second large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vanilla and stevia until fully combined.
Fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture until just starting to come together.
Next, add the almond flour and fold gently until you have a smooth, creamy cake batter.
Move the cake batter to the prepared cake pan and place in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
Allow the cake to cool completely, then serve, storing any leftover cake in an airtight container to enjoy within a few days.
