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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Prepare for Baking: Transfer the thick batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top as needed.
- 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.
- 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.
