Low Carb Coconut Cinnamon Cake
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Butter, softened
- 1/3 cup Brown sugar (substitute with 1/3 cup brown Erythritol for a Keto option)
- 3 Eggs
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1 cup Coconut flour
- 1/2 cup Almond flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 Tbsp butter for greasing the baking pan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170C/325F
- In the bowl of your mixer add the softened butter and the brown sugar (or brown Erythritol). Mix on medium speed until the sugar has dissolved and the butter is creamy in texture.
- Add the eggs, one at a time while the mixer is running. Keep mixing until it all comes together.
- Add the yogurt and vanilla and mix on high speed until the mixture is nice and foamy.
- Now add the coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Mix on medium speed for at least 3 minutes so that everything comes together and the batter is fluffy.
- Grease the baking pan with butter. Spread the batter evenly in the pan, evening it out with a spatula. Let this sit for 5 minutes before placing in the oven.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out dry.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before removing the cake from the pan.
