Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 6 tbsp salted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder

Flavoring

  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Prep and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and sweetener. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the eggs, heavy cream, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract to the food processor. Pulse again until the batter is fully combined and thick in consistency.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the thick batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top as needed.
  5. Bake the Pound Cake: Bake the cake for 60 to 70 minutes or until the center feels firm when lightly pressed, and the edges are a deep golden brown. Start checking at 45 minutes and cover the top loosely with foil if the cake is browning too quickly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then run a knife around the edges and lift the parchment paper to remove the cake. Let it cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Sweetener alternatives can include erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, or stevia blends, adjusted to taste equivalence.
  • Make sure cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for easier blending.
  • If your oven tends to run hot, check the cake early to prevent burning.
  • This cake freezes well; wrap tightly and thaw before serving.
  • Almond and coconut flours are key to maintaining the keto-friendly aspect; do not substitute with regular flour.
