Low-Carb Keto Pound Cake Recipe Tips
- Before baking, I always recommend you take out your wet ingredients and allow them to come to room temperature; in this case, that would mean cream cheese, butter, and eggs. I also measure out all the dry ingredients to help speed up the process.
- Although not required, lining the pan with parchment paper will make it easier to remove the cake and add it to a cooling rack.
- You’ll want to use an electric mixer or stand mixer in order to fully incorporate your ingredients. Also, be sure to scrape the bowl several times in the process to make sure all the ingredients are mixed properly.
- Your baking time will depend on the size pan you use and whether you have opted to double the recipe. For an 8-inch loaf, bake for approximately 35-40 minutes.
- If you double the recipe, you will need to bake it for anywhere between 50-70 minutes, depending on your oven, and use at least a 10-inch loaf pan. This recipe also makes keto pound cake muffins. It makes 12 regular-sized cupcakes.
- When making cupcakes, bake them for 20-25 minutes. And if you opt for a bundt pan, it will need to be a small one unless you are doubling the recipe.
- For a small bundt cake (8 cup capacity), bake for 35-40 minutes, and for a large one (12 cup capacity), bake for 60-70 minutes. Be sure to check out my keto baking tips for more of my proven advice.
