Recipe: Keto Cake for Sweet Cravings
If your sweet tooth is calling for a cakey treat, look no further! This quick and easy Lemon and Almond Santiago Keto Cake recipe is here to satisfy your cravings. Not only is it a delightful dessert, but it’s also a smart option for portion control. I recommend slicing it into 12 portions and stashing them in the freezer for a convenient treat. Each slice accounts for 1 fat portion, so you can indulge guilt-free by adjusting your dinner allowance a bit.
For all the Thermomix enthusiasts out there, you’ll find this recipe on Cookido with a simple substitution for the sugar.
Ingredients:
- 250g monkfruit caster or icing sugar
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 250g almond meal/flour
- 4 eggs
- Optional: 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Line or lightly spray a round cake tin to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, combine the monkfruit sweetener (or icing sugar) and eggs. Mix these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and well-incorporated mixture.
- Gradually add in the almond meal/flour and lemon zest to the egg-sweetener mixture. If you’re a fan of warm, cozy flavors, you can also toss in the optional 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon at this point.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until you have a consistent batter.
- Carefully pour the cake batter into the prepared cake tin, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes. Keep an eye on it—the cake should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean when it’s ready.
- Once baked, take the cake out of the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for a bit.
- If you have icing sugar on hand, sprinkle a light dusting over the cooled cake for an elegant finishing touch.
- Now, it’s time to slice and savor! Remember, each slice is equivalent to 1 fat portion, so you can enjoy it without derailing your dinner plans.
This Lemon Almond Cake is not only a quick fix for your sweet cravings, but it also offers a delightful blend of flavors that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is a breeze to whip up. So, indulge responsibly and let your taste buds dance with joy! ✨
