Low Carb Key Lime Pound Cake Recipe

I seem to have a slight obsession with cake and the moment. And by “slight”, I mean can’t stop thinking about cake, making cake, eating cake and dreaming up new low carb cake recipes. I already have several keto cake recipes in the queue, waiting to be published. And I have an ongoing list of recipe ideas that seems to be dominated by cake at the moment. I don’t really know what’s going on but cake seems to be the order of the day and I am more than a little willing to let my time and energy but completely consumed by cake. I figure at least it’s not crack, right?

Key lime pie meets deliciously tender pound cake in this low carb grain-free recipe!

The thing about cake is that the possibilities are limitless. It can be simple or complex, it can be easy to make or take hours, it can be one layer or 10 layers. It can be shaped and molded to look like almost anything. It can be chocolate, vanilla, lemon, strawberry, mocha, Nutella, almond, peanut butter, bacon, maple…any flavor you can possibly think of, cake can be that flavor. Or any combination of these flavors. Really, cake is your imagination at work. And lately my imagination has been hard at work on cake.

  1. Oh, my, that looks good! (and moist!) Can’t wait to try it. While you are on a cake kick… how about the “Lemon Fresh Berry Mascarpone” cake? I had a piece in a tiny country cafe in Little Switzerland, NC, and it has been my favorite cake ever since. It was SO fresh, moist and not too sweet. I have made this version (not low carb) years ago, but need a low carb, healthier version!! I know you can do it! lol Please accept the challenge! Love all your recipes!

    • For the cake, you can use whatever sweetener you want. For the glaze, you really need a powdered sweetener of some sort.

    • No, it’s more like 4g because you have to subtract the Swerve grams too. Erythritol has no impact on blood glucose.

  8. Will the THM baking blend work for this and what would the measurements be? And gentle sweet measurements?

    • You definitely can but I am not sure of the amount. THM has a conversion chart for sugar and since Swerve measures like sugar, try using the conversion for sugar.

  9. My challenge is I’m sensitive to almonds ( like reacting with and arthrtis flare in my joints). Can I use a gluten free flour mix instead? And coconut milk. I made this a couple years ago. It was lovely!

  11. I made this and loved it! Although i must be honest, i use regular sugars and honey so it’s not keto for me, but it is lower carb than using regular gluten free flours. I adore using your recipes for the mix of almond and coconut flours this cake was so good i turned the left overs into cake balls and then used them inside a lime cheesecake and then i made the extra into cake balls dipped into melted white chocolate. Absolutely delicious! If i have leftover cheesecake i will make lime cheesecake no churn ice cream with it.
