Indulge in Dreamy Keto Butter Pecan Pound Cake!
Keto pound cake: bake this incredibly moist and flavorful butter pecan pound cake. Loaded with toasted pecans for a delightful low-carb treat.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups chopped pecans
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/3 cup unflavored whey protein powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2/3 cup brown sugar replacement
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides.
- In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add chopped pecans and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened 1/2 cup butter and brown sugar replacement until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in the toasted pecans.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
Notes
- Toasting the pecans in butter intensifies their flavor and adds a beautiful depth to the cake. Don't skip this step! - Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth, emulsified batter that bakes evenly. - If your cake browns too quickly, loosely tent it with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning while the inside finishes cooking. - Store leftover keto pound cake tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. It also freezes beautifully for up to 2 months.
