Blueberry Coconut Cake : Low Carb / Keto


This low carb / keto blueberry coconut cake can be made in a cake pan, cast iron skillet-pan or as muffins, (which makes it easy to customize). It’s grain-free, nut-free, sugar-free, and did I mention low carb / keto! What’s more, it's light, airy, and moist. The blueberries and coconut flour pair perfectly in this recipe suggestion. 

Ingredients
Yield 12
Carbs per serving 4.9g
1 cup of coconut flour
1/2 cup sugar substitute e.g. Swerve
1 cup sour cream
4 tablespoons of melted butter
3 eggs
1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries
1 cup of toasted sugar-free coconut flakes
1 ½ tablespoons of baking powder
¼ teaspoon of sea salt

Instructions
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Toast the sugar-free coconut flakes for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned. (set aside)
3. Melt the butter and set aside to cool.
4. Combine the sugar substitute, melted butter and the eggs.
5. Add the sour cream and combine well.
6. Next add all the dry ingredients, including the ¾ cup of the toasted coconut.
7. Stir until fully combined.
8. Lastly, stir in the blueberries
9. Pour batter (note that it will be thick) into fully greased 9-inch round cake pan or cast-iron skillet.
10. Top with the ¼ cup of toasted coconut you reserved.
11. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Coconut flour is a wonderful low-carb, keto, gluten-free flour. It is light, packed with fibre, easy to use, requires very little quantities and so ends up being a very affordable baking grain-free flour. if you would like to know more about cooking with low carb (alternative) flours please see here

I love coconut 🥥 but Himself does not. Maybe I’ll just have to bake a batch of muffins for myself.

Hello, this looks delicious and so tempting. I am trying out a gluten free diet so no treats for me. I am still trying to find foods I can eat now. Enjoy your day and week ahead.

This looks so delicious!! Someone had dropped their fresh blueberries on the ground outside tescos, what a waste but I'm sure the birds will enjoy them. Have a good week :)
