Key Ingredients for Keto Yogurt Cake

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are well mixed.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix bowl and gently fold everything together until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix!
5. Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
6. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Feel free to top with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of berries before serving!

What to Serve Keto Yogurt Cake With

This Keto Yogurt Cake pairs beautifully with whipped cream or a fresh fruit topping, such as berries. You could also serve it alongside a scoop of keto-friendly ice cream for a delightful indulgence. To round out your meal, consider enjoying it with a fruity herbal tea or some sparkling water for a refreshing drink that complements the cake without the added sugars.

Top Tips for Perfecting Keto Yogurt Cake

• Ingredient Substitutions: If almond flour is not available, you can substitute it with coconut flour, but use only half the amount as it has a higher absorption rate.
• Don’t Rush the Baking: Ensure that your cake is fully baked through. If in doubt, let it bake a bit longer but keep an eye on it to avoid drying out.
• Spice It Up: You can add spices like cinnamon or a touch of lemon zest to elevate the flavor profile and take it a notch higher.

Storing and Reheating Tips

To maintain the freshness of your Keto Yogurt Cake, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator where it should stay good for about 5–7 days. If you wish to make it ahead of time for a special occasion, this cake also freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil before placing it in the freezer. It can be stored for up to 2 months! When ready to enjoy, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and serve it cold or reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds for a freshly baked experience.
