- ⅓ cup sugar free brown sweetener, packed (click to see my favorite) (note 1)
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ⅓ cup chopped pecans optional
For the cake
- 2 cups almond flour (click to see my favorite)
- ¾ cups sugar free granulated sweetener (click to see my favorite) (note 1)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 large eggs beaten
- ½ cup plain Greek Yogurt or sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the icing (optional)
- ½ cup sugar-free powdered sweetener (click to see my favorite brand) (note 1)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- water for thinning
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F (175C) and grease a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) metal cake pan with butter or cooking spray and create a parchment paper "sling" so the cake can easily be removed from the pan.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the swirl ingredients. Mixture will be thick. Set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the eggs, Greek Yogurt or sour cream, and vanilla. Pour into the prepared dish.
- Distribute the cinnamon mixture evenly around the cake batter. As it bakes, the batter will rise around the mixture, resembling a swirl. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 15-30 minutes
- In a small bowl, whisk together the icing ingredients. Add water ½ tablespoon at a time to make it thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle the icing evenly all over the cake. Cut into 12 squares and serve.
Notes
- Sweeteners: Having to buy 3 types of keto sweetener may not be feasible. For simplicity, you could use the powdered for all 3 parts to the recipe. For best results, you would want to use the 3 different types.
