Keto Pound Cake
"One of the best ways to spend your Sunday afternoons is to bake this delicious dessert. Perfect for the entire family, this keto pound cake won’t just satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth, but will also keep carb consumption low. Each serving has 3.1 grams of total carbs. What’s more, most of the ingredients are already found in your pantry.Thanks to the eggs, this low-carb treat is a good source of vitamins B2, B5, and B12, and selenium for a better mood and stronger immunity. With a total fat of 31.9 grams, each serving will sustain your energy."
NotesTo make this keto pound cake even more flavorful, use grass-fed butter instead of regular butter. Another useful tip, especially for new ketoers, is to use organic full-fat cream cheese. This will help boost your fat intake and achieve ketosis faster. For the best results, follow the recommended egg size which is large. Remember to choose Erythritol as a sweetener – not granulated sugar.
