Directions

To make the pound cake:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325F and grease a Bundt pan with both butter and then coconut oil spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

In a second bowl, beat the butter with the sweetener until fully combined and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the orange zest and extracts.

Step 3

Add half the almond flour mixture and beat in, then add the almond milk. Beat in the remaining almond flour mixture until well combined. Fold in chopped cranberries.

Step 4

Spoon into the prepared Bundt pan and spread evenly. Bake 45 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cake is firm to the touch.

Step 5

Let cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then carefully loosen the edges and flip out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the cream cheese glaze:

Step 1

Beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in the sweetener and vanilla until well combined. Beat in the water one tablespoon at a time, until a pourable consistency is achieved.

Step 2

Drizzle glaze over the cooled cake. Garnish cake with sugar-free dried cranberries and orange zest, if desired.

This recipe is so forgiving. My family has made it with substitutes and no issues. Ive used almond extract and almond bits Ive used vanilla with pecan bits, I use lemon zest instead of orange, Ive used dried blueberries instead of cranberries. It also turns out great in ramekins and as cupcakes. Seriously I cant seem to mess it up. I do weigh the flours out as 370 g almond and 22g coconut. oh and I mix and mach my sweeteners, I have yet to try cane sugar though.

Wondering about the measurements of the flours by weight in grams? I made this the other day and despite cooking for an extended period of time, my cake still came out mushy in the middle. Maybe I under measured my flours with the cups method? I want to try it again but don't want to keep wasting ingredients. Thanks.

Look on the back of the flour bags and it will say how many grams are in a cup of their flour. That way you can do the math and weigh the flour. My almond flour says 1/4 cup equals 28 grams. If my math is correct 3.5 cups of almond flour should weigh 392 grams. My coconut flour says 1/4 cup is also 28 grams.

Hi. I made this today. It was awesome! I made cranberry sauce and used that as a topping when served. Question, in a Bundt pan, do you cook on reg shelf in the oven or cook on the bottom shelf????

Hi Leigh, thanks for trying our recipe. Cranberry sauce sounds like a delicious way to top a piece of this cake. Baking on the middle or lower rack of the oven is usually just fine.

Hi Fran, we haven't tried substituting for the almond milk but if heavy cream is what you have available, as long as you get it down to a similar consistency as almond milk, it should work just fine. Excited to hear how this comes out for you!

Made the cake and totally loved it! My husband had three out my orange so instead of zest added some extra orange extract. I used two loaf pans and it was perfect. 50 minutes. I am curious how to store it. Refrigerator?

Hi Sue, We're glad you loved the cake and were able to improvise with orange extract! As far as storage goes, the most important step is to store it tightly wrapped or in an air-tight container. It may last a few days longer if stored in the refrigerator, but if you expect it to go quickly you should be fine with it kept on the kitchen counter for a few days.

I made this cake yesterday for company. Right out of the gate, it was super easy to prepare. You do need a stand mixer or an electric mixer, otherwise, it will take a very long time to prepare. It took 55 minutes to bake (the cake was golden). I used a NordicWare 10-cup square tube pan which I sprayed with Baker's Joy baking spray. After cooling 10 minutes in the pan, I inverted cake onto my square serving dish, frosted with the glaze, and used orange zest curls for decoration. An absolute smash. Everyone loved the cake. This will become one of my holiday staples. It's fool-proof. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

You are certainly welcome to try freezing this recipe, Debbie, although we haven't tested that ourselves. If you would like to try it out, we would recommend keeping the cake whole, even if it is sliced and put back into its original shape as we think you'll find it will maintain more moisture when thawing. We also recommend thawing the cake out in the fridge overnight, before bringing the cake ultimately back to room temperature for service.

Great question, Betty! This is where things get a bit tricky. Cranberry sauce has a much higher water content than whole, fresh cranberries, so this kind of substitution might yield a soggy cake. Because you're working with unconventional baking ingredients (i.e. almond and coconut flours), we recommend sticking with either fresh or dried cranberries for this recipe.

What a delicious moist scrumptious cake. It was featured at our 12th Night Dinner Party, and not a morsel was left. Served with Decaf and cordials. Keep adding recipes to your egg containers.

Hi Miss, we haven't tried this recipe with regular all-purpose flour, so we unfortunately cannot guarantee that the texture will be quite the same. If you'd like to give a go, we recommend cutting the recipe in half or even in quarters to do a "test" batch. Hope that helps!

I happened to just spy this recipe in the egg container, and thought wow, keto friendly and pound cake... my favourite combination, this was a way for me to use up those extra cranberries before the go bad. I baked this a couple days ago, myself and my very critical family members loved it. It disapeared within minutes. I will always use this combination of ingredients for aall my cakes. I love it. P.S. I used lemon juice and rind instead

Hello there! Can I make this pound cake with GF flour instead of the almond and coconut flours? My partner is allergic to nuts but I would still really love to try this! Sounds amazing! Look forward to your reply 😀

Hi Kel, you can either use a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour in place of the almond and coconut flour, or you can replace the almond and coconut flour with oat flour. If you choose to try the latter, make sure you consult a flour conversion chart - since almond, coconut, and oat flours all act differently in the oven, you'll want to adjust the amounts accordingly. Let us know how it turns out!
