How to make a keto cream cheese pound cake
This cream cheese pound cake is an easy one bowl dish. Reach for the whisk and grab a medium bowl and you are ready for cake baking!
I use coconut flour for this keto lemon cake recipe as it's my preferred low carb flour. If you wanted to replace it with almond flour I would suggest that you use 1 ½ cups of almond flour instead of the coconut flour.
For the sweetener I would recommend either erythritol or an erythritol/monk fruit blend.
Tips
The top of the cake may crack but don't worry as it can be covered up with a frosting.
This cake could be baked in a bundt cake tin. Just ensure that you thoroughly grease the cake tin.
Alternatively, make muffins with this cake mixture. Reduce the cooking time to 30 minutes and check with a toothpick that they are cooked through.
I slathered my cake with a cream cheese and lemon topping which was just cream cheese, lemon juice and a touch of low carb sweetener. I had intended to pipe it but it looked like a spider had crawled into the topping and danced all over the cake. I smoothed the topping and decorated with lemon slices.

I know it is not keto friendly but can it be made with regular sugar in the same amount?
Angela Coleby
Yes it could and the amount is the same. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Gretchen
Hi, can I use this recipe with extra egg yolks from the low carb flax rolls I made of yours. Two egg yolks perhaps = one egg? Thanks!
Angela Coleby
I think you could!
Cindy
Omg! That's the first thing I had to say.
With the initial ingredients getting mixed together you think you're making a cheesecake. First time I made this I forgot to line with parchment paper... Needless to say, a sweet gloppy mess. My husband and I ate it with a spoon. Next attempt... Perfect! This is soooooo delicious. Thank you for these coconut flour recipes for baking. They taste much better than Almond flour treats.
Angela Coleby
Thank you so much! I much prefer baking with coconut flour than almond. It took a while to get used to it though! (so many disasters I still shudder at the memories!)

This is gorgeous, I will be making it regularly. I have followed the recipe to the letter, but experimented with the kind of cream cheese I have used (goat curd and mascarpone so far) , and the citrus (lemon or lime) and berries (blueberries or raspberries).
Angela Coleby
I love the idea of using other cream cheeses!!
Alice
fastest I've ever made something after publishing! absolutely delicious and easy to make and clean up afterwards. If you are sensitive to erythritol this is a great recipe--the lemon juice and natural sweetness of the berries cancels out that cooling effect. Highly recommended.

Glad you enjoyed it!
