Ingredients

For the Cakes
  • 1 ½ cups Super Fine Almond Flour
  • ¼ cup oat fiber see notes
  • 3 eggs separated
  • ⅔ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons grass-fed butter room temperature
  • ½ cup  Swerve confectioners
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Zest and juice from 2 lemons
  • 1 teaspoon  pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • Pinch of salt
For the Glaze
  • ⅓ cup  Swerve confectioners (or powdered erythritol) or as needed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice or as needed
  • ½ teaspoon  pure vanilla extract

Instructions

To Make the Cake
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.  Add the almond flour, oat fiber, poppy seeds, baking powder and salt to a bowl and whisk to combine.  In a separate bowl, whip up the egg whites using a hand mixer to soft peaks and set aside.
  2. Add the butter, egg yolks, swerve, sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract to another bowl and mix using a hand mixer.  Mix in the egg whites.
  3. Mix in the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.  Using an ice cream scoop, add the batter to a mini fluted/bundt pan that has been sprayed with nonstick spray.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick, when inserted, comes out clean.  Allow to cool slightly, then invert the mini cakes onto a wire rack and allow to cool before glazing.
To Make the Glaze
  1. Add the glaze ingredients to a bowl and mix.  Add in more lemon juice if needed to thin out and get your desired consistency.  Drip the glaze over each mini bundt cake and allow the glaze to set at room temp before serving.

Notes

  • While you can certainly omit the glaze, it adds such a nice sweetness and punch of lemon flavor, so it's highly recommended!  If you decide to omit it, you might want to add a little more swerve to the cake batter to compensate.
  • Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outer husks of oats. How healthy is oat fiber? It's pure insoluble fiber, which doesn't dissolve in water and isn't broken down in the digestive tract, so it has zero net carbs and is perfect for a Keto Diet. It helps give a more traditional texture and that's why I use it so often. Check out all the Keto Oat Fiber Recipes you can make!
  • To get the best results, it's best to use oat fiber if you can. If you're unable to find it, try a combination of psyllium husk powder and coconut flour. Since both are very absorbent, you might have to add more liquid.
