Ingredients Needed

For the Bundt Cake

• Almond Flour – Sift your almond flour to ensure the batter has no clumps and obtain a lighter texture.
• Sweetener – I used Erythritol in this recipe, but any other low-carb sweetener, such as Monk Fruit or Allulose, would also work.
• Butter – adds a delicious buttery flavor.
• Eggs – use large room-temperature eggs for the best results.
• Sour Cream – adds moisture to the cake.
• Lemon – you will need both lemon zest and juice for a citrus flavor.
• Vanilla Extract – use the best quality vanilla for the best flavor.
• Baking Powder – helps the cake batter rise and become fluffy.
• Salt – to taste.

For The Lemon Glaze

• Sweetener – you will need a powdered sweetener to combine well.
• Lemon Juice – you will need freshly squeezed lemon juice.
• Cream cheese – makes the sugar-free lemon glaze ultra-creamy.

How To Make This Keto Lemon Bundt Cake

This recipe may look too fancy, but you’ll be surprised to see how easy it is to make it in such a short time. Here is everything you have to do:

Preheat The Oven

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F/ 177 degrees C and grease a bundt pan.

Preparing the Cake Batter

Add the softened butter and sweetener to a large bowl and mix until well combined.

Next, add the eggs, lemon juice, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until frothy.

Mixing the Dry and Wet Ingredients

Add the almond flour, baking powder, salt, lemon zest over the egg mixture and mix until the cake batter is smooth.

Bake The Bundt Cake

Pour the batter into the greased pan and smooth the top.

Don’t overfill the bundt pan, as the cake may overflow during baking. Fill the pan about 2/3 full to allow room for the cake to rise.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes until golden brown or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Remove the bundt cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes, then turn it out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.

Make The Lemon Glaze

Mix the cream cheese, lemon juice, sweetener, and vanilla until well combined, then drizzle it over the cooled cake.

Tips For Making The Best Keto Lemon Bundt Cake

• Don’t overbake the cake. When a toothpick comes out with only a few crumbs stuck to it, remove it from the oven.
• Don’t overmix the batter. This may cause a tough and dense cake. 
• Grease the bundt pan. Greasing the bundt pan with butter or cooking spray will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
• Use room temperature ingredients. It’s important to use eggs and butter at room temperature to ensure an easy mixing and smoother batter.
• Ensure you let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan to help it hold its shape and slice easily.

Recipe Variations

• You can add some unsweetened dark chocolate chips to the batter.
• Add poppy seeds or fresh blueberries.
• Add one tbsp of cocoa powder to the batter and skip the lemon and poppy seeds for a keto chocolate pound cake.
• Add pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to the batter and top with a cream cheese glaze.
• Add shredded unsweetened coconut to the batter and top with a sugar-free coconut cream glaze.
• Add chopped nuts like almonds, pecans, or walnuts to the batter for a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
