Creating a low-carb, sugar-free Kentucky butter cake can be a bit challenging since traditional butter cakes are known for their high carbohydrate and sugar content. However, I can provide you with a recipe that uses low-carb and sugar-free alternatives. Keep in mind that the texture and taste may differ from the traditional version, but it should still be a delicious and healthier option.
Low-Carb, Sugar-Free Kentucky Butter Cake
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated erythritol or your preferred sugar substitute
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Butter Sauce:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or your preferred sugar substitute
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (163Β°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and erythritol until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the sour cream, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the butter sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the erythritol, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sweetener is dissolved.
- Once the cake is out of the oven, poke holes all over the top with a skewer or fork.
- Pour the warm butter sauce evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Remember to adjust the sweetness and texture to your liking, as sugar substitutes and alternative flours can vary. Enjoy your low-carb, sugar-free Kentucky butter cake!
