Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup sliced almonds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it generously.
In a bowl, mix together almond flour, baking powder, and salt, ensuring there are no lumps.
In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the melted butter and erythritol together until well combined.
Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
Slowly blend the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Optionally, sprinkle the sliced almonds on top of the batter to add texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice the loaf into 1-inch thick pieces.
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Return the sliced pieces to the oven to bake for another 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to evenly crisp both sides.
Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
Store in an airtight container. Serve these keto cake rusks with a hot cup of tea or coffee for a delightful low-carb treat.
