What’s Keto Orange Pound Cake?

While pound cakes have traditionally been made with flour, butter, and sugar, I am here to show you how to make your pound cake the keto way.

A keto orange pound cake is a sugar-free, low-carb cake with a deliciously moist, buttery texture. It’s a delicious cake to have for breakfast or an afternoon snack.

How To Make A Keto Orange Pound Cake

To make a delicious keto pound cake, you need some fundamental keto pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

• Almond flour or almond meal. Prefer fine almond flour, it’ll give this bread the best texture. Learn how to pick the best keto flour.
• Coconut flour – don’t replace it with more almond flour, or your bread texture will be too moist. This flour combo is the key to the best pound cake texture.
• Erythritol or any sugar-free crystal sweetener like allulose or xylitol, use my keto sweetener converter tool to know how much of another sweetener you need for this recipe.
• Eggs
• Coconut oil – while the recipe works with melted butter too, I recommend melted coconut oil for the best flavor and texture.
• Orange juice – use fresh organic oranges. Organic oranges are better because their skin is not treated, and therefore, it’s safe to use the grated zest from them.
• Orange zest
• Baking powder
• Powdered erythritol – for the glazing.

Making Sugar-Free Glazing?

You can glaze keto cakes using powdered sugar-free crystal sweeteners like erythritol, allulose, or Monk fruit erythritol blend.

If you don’t like your glazing too sweet, I recommend using allulose. Like any glazing, combine powdered sweetener with a liquid, like orange juice, to enhance the orange flavor or simply water.

You can play with the texture, adding more powder sweetener for a thick glazing or more liquid for runny glazing.

Note that powdered sugar-free crystal sweeteners have a similar look and texture to real icing sugar without the carbs. However, it can be overly sweet, so make sure you stick to the glazing recipe for perfect sweetness balance.

Can I Have Oranges On A Keto Diet?

When used in small amounts, oranges are keto-friendly fruit, perfect for adding sweetness to your keto baking.

Storage Instructions

This pound cake stores very well in the fridge for up to 5 days, in an airtight box.

You can also freeze slices of pound cake wrapped individually.

When you feel like cake, defrost one piece of pound cake on a plate at room temperature.

Ingredients

US Customary – Metric

• ▢ 5 large Eggs at room temperature
• ▢ ¾ cup Granulated Sweetener
• ▢ ½ cup Coconut Oil melted, not hot, lukewarm or melted butter
• ▢ ¼ cup Fresh Orange Juice
• ▢ 1 tablespoon Orange Zest
• ▢ 2 cups Almond Flour
• ▢ ¼ cup Coconut Flour
• ▢ 1 tablespoon Baking Powder

Orange glazing

• ▢ 1 cup Powdered Erythritol
• ▢ 2 tablespoons Orange Juice
• ▢ 1 tablespoon Orange Zest

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Slightly grease the paper with coconut oil or butter to prevent the cake from sticking to it. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat eggs with erythritol, melted coconut oil, orange juice, and orange zest. Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature! If your eggs or juice are cold, they will solidify the coconut oil, forming oil lumps. The recipe would still work, but it would impact the cake's texture. Set aside.
• In another bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder.
• Make a well in the middle of the flours and pour the liquid ingredients into it.
• Combine with a spoon until all the ingredients come together and form a consistent cake batter with no lumps.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a pick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
• Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then lift out the cake from the pan and transfer it to a cooling rack for at least 4 hours.
• When the pound cake is at room temperature, prepare the glazing.

Sugar-free orange glazing

• In a small mixing bowl, combine powdered erythritol with orange juice and orange zest. If the mixture is too thick, add a few more drops of orange juice. If it's too thin, add more powdered erythritol, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your favorite texture.
• Drizzle the orange glazing on top of the pound cake.
• Slice the pound cake into 16 slices.

Storage

• Store for 3 days in the fridge in an airtight box or freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost 3 hours before eating at room temperature.
