Equipment
- 8 inch bundt pan
Ingredients
- 5 eggs large, room temperature
- ½ cup / 115g butter melted
- ½ cup / 120g full fat yoghurt room temperature
- 2 cup / 200g almond flour
- ⅓ cup / 40g coconut flour
- 3 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves use ¼ teaspoon for a more intense taste
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅔ cup / 120g golden erythritol
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 354F / 180C / 160Cfan. Generously grease a 8-9 inch bundt tin with butter.
- Place the eggs in a stand mixer or in a mixing bowl and use an electric whisk. Whisk on high for 4 minutes until super fluffy.
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- Add the butter and yoghurt to the eggs and mix on medium / high until just combined. Add the dry ingredients and whisk again briefly until a batter forms.
- Spoon the batter into the bundt tin and level with a spatula. Wet your hands slightly with water and smooth the top.
- Bake in the oven for about 40 - 50 minutes until golden and you can insert and remove a skewer without crumbs sticking. Mine took about 43 minutes. Check the cake from about 30-35 minutes. Once it is browned on top, loosely cover with tin foil.
- Once cooled, remove from the tin and dust with powdered low carb sweetener. Slice into 12 slices.
Notes
3.4g net carbs per slice. Makes 12 slices.
Optional add-in for a darker colour (you won't be able to taste it): 1 tablespoon cocoa powder.
Optional add-in for a more intense gingerbread cake taste: 1 teaspoon blackstrap molasses.
Optional: replace the ground ginger with freshly grated ginger root - 1.5 tbsp.
It's possible to use different cake pans - rectangular loaf pans or a springform. Line the bottom and / or sides with parchment paper. Cooking times of both loaf pans and springforms will be longer - I'm estimating 50-60 minutes. Test with a skewer and remove only once no crumbs are sticking.
