Gather Your Ingredients.
This keto coffee cake recipe packs a punch of flavors thanks to a thoughtful blend of ingredients. Here's the exciting lineup and why each one is a must-have to make our delicious coffee cake keto.
- Butter (softened): An essential fat source that adds a lovely, creamy texture and rich flavor to the cake.
- Lakanto Monkfruit, or choice of sweetener: This keto-friendly sweetener is the traditional brown sugar substitute, letting you indulge without spiking sugar levels.
- Eggs: Eggs add structure, leavening, and flavor to our keto coffee cake. Remember, they should be at room temperature for a smooth blend.
- Sour cream: The secret ingredient! Sour cream imparts an irresistible tangy taste and creates a soft and moist texture.
- Almond flour: A staple in keto baking, almond flour is low-carb, packed with nutrients, and gives the cake a tender crumb. You can also use almond meal if almond flour is not available.
- Baking powder and Baking soda: They work as leavening agents to help the cake rise, creating that classic coffee cake fluffiness.
- Xanthan gum: A binding agent that helps improve the texture and ease of cake slicing.
- Nutmeg: Just a hint of nutmeg adds a warm, sweet flavor - a delightful contrast to the robustness of the coffee.
- Cinnamon and Salt: Essential for the crumble, they add a distinct taste that perfectly complements the sweet notes.
-Butter (melted): Used in the crumble, it creates that irresistibly buttery, crisp topping.
-Chopped pecans (optional): Add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor. Feel free to swap with almonds if you prefer.
