KETO APPLE CAKE || SPICED BUTTER CAKE

One of the first keto cakes I made was a butter cake, and it was a huge hit! Since it’s so delicious, I decided to use that same base to create a keto apple spice butter cake.

INGREDIENTS

Cake

  • 2 cups (200g) almond flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) sour cream
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup (100g) sugar substitute
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Syrup

  • 1/2 cup (100g) butter
  • 1/4 cup (50g) sugar substitute
  • 1 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the cake ingredients until smooth.
  • Pour the batter into a greased bundt cake pan.
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • While the cake bakes, prepare the syrup:
    • Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat.
    • Stir in the sugar substitute, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup.
    • Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
    • Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens, then remove from heat and set aside.
  • Once the cake is done, poke small holes into the top (which will be the bottom) of the bundt cake using a skewer or the end of a utensil.
  • Pour the syrup over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Swirl the pan gently to help the mixture absorb.
  • Let the cake cool for 1 hour before removing from the pan.
  • To serve, place a plate over the bundt pan and carefully flip it over to release the cake.
  • Slice and enjoy!
