Mastering the art of keto desserts
When it comes to making keto desserts, working from scratch is the best way to go because you can guarantee quality ingredients without a ton of added sugar and carbs.
For this gluten free bundt cake, I used blanched almond flour and monkfruit sugar substitute. Lakanto is my favorite keto sweetener to bake with because it’s a 1:1 swap for sugar and doesn’t have any weird additives or funky aftertaste.
With products like almond flour and keto baking mixes, you can make a keto version of pretty much any traditional baked good!
What is the difference between bundt cake and pound cake?
You can easily turn this blueberry pound cake recipe into a keto bundt cake recipe, just use a bundt cake pan! That’s the secret and you heard it here first: bundt cakes are just pound cakes, baked in a bundt pan.
The best sugar free and gluten free dessert
If you’re looking for the best sugar free cake recipe ever, this just might be it. Fresh lemon and blueberries come together with a tart sweetness. Adding ricotta cheese to the batter keeps this lemon blueberry pound cake super moist and decadent. The cherry on top is the cream cheese glaze. Why choose between gluten free lemon desserts or sugar free blueberry desserts when you can have them both in one keto pound cake recipe!
Variations on this keto pound cake recipe
- use mixed berries in place of the blueberries
