Simple Keto Gingerbread
Report
This simple keto gingerbread is moist, tender, and fluffy. Despite containing no molasses or brown sugar, it tastes just like the real thing!

Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon unsalted butter for pan
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 1.5 teaspoons stevia glycerite equals ½ cup of sugar - see notes
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder natural, unsweetened; see notes
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups superfine almond flour 6 ounces; it's best to measure by weight
- ½ teaspoon baking soda see notes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Generously grease a square glass 8-inch baking dish with butter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, stevia, cinnamon, cocoa powder, ginger, and salt.
- Whisk in the almond flour and baking soda.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the cake is puffed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
- Cool the cake in the pan on a cooling rack for 20 minutes, then cut it into nine squares and serve.
Notes
- Occasionally, baking soda can cause a reaction in baked goods that results in an unpleasant ammonia smell. If you're concerned about it happening, use ½ tablespoon of fresh, non-expired baking powder (gluten-free if needed) instead of baking soda.
- You can use a granulated sweetener instead of stevia. If the batter seems too thick, add an extra tablespoon of milk.
- This might be somewhat unusual, but I like to add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to this cake. The cocoa powder gives the cake a deeper color and an additional layer of rich flavor. This is useful because I don't use brown sugar or molasses.
- If using baking soda, it's best to use natural cacao powder (not treated with alkali). Its acidity will help activate the baking soda, ensuring a fluffy cake. If using baking powder, it's fine to use cocoa powder treated with alkali.
- I like the cake unfrosted, but you can frost it with this keto cream cheese frosting.
- Once completely cool, you can wrap the cake in cling wrap, then in a layer of foil, and store it in the fridge. It keeps well for about 5 days. You can also wrap it as mentioned above and freeze it or freeze individual slices in freezer bags.
