How to Prepare Keto Pecan Pound Cake
Step #01 – Set the oven to 350 0 F and grease a tube or bundt pan.
Step #02 – Mix almond flour, baking powder, and oat fibre in a small bowl.
Step #03 – In a large bowl mix cream softened butter, sour cream, and sweetener using a stand mixer at low speed. Continue mixing until you get a smooth mixture.
Step #04 – Add extracts and eggs, one at a time, while continuously blending the batter. Continue mixing at medium speed until the batter becomes slightly frothy.
Step #05 – Add the dry ingredients to the batter and keep mixing until a thorough mix forms.
Step #06 – Thoroughly mix pecans with the batter.
Step #07 – Pour the batter onto the prepared cake pan and spread uniformly.
Step #08 – Bake the cake for about 45 to 60 minutes or up until the point it turns golden brown.
Step #09 – Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Once the cake cools down completely, it is time to prepare the glaze.
Step #10 – Melt butter in a small pan at a medium-high heat setting and add the sweetener.
Continue heating until the sweetener dissolves and the mixture starts to boil.
Step #11 – Turn the heat to the lowest possible setting and stir continuously for another 1 to 2 minutes.
Step #12 – Remove the glaze from the heat. Add cream and vanilla. Uniformly spread the glaze over the cake.
Note:
For later consumption, store the cake on the counter for 1 to 2 days followed by refrigerating until required.
If you don’t have a brown sugar substitute, use a granular sugar substitute and 1 teaspoon of blackstrap molasses.
