KETO INSTANT POT RECIPE: Spice Cake with Lemon Drizzle


Bundt cakes are some of my favorite desserts to make—I love how pretty they look on a table. This incredible-smelling cake made with pumpkin pie spice is brightened up by a fresh lemon icing that really brings the whole thing together. Try topping the cake with a handful of toasted chopped pecans to add crunch and nutty flavor.

Serves: 6

Active prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • Butter or ghee, for the baking dish

  • 11∕₂ cups almond flour

  • 1∕₃ cup granular erythritol

  • 11∕₂ teaspoons baking powder

  • 11∕₂ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

  • 1∕₈ teaspoon fine Himalayan pink salt

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • 4 tablespoons butter or ghee, melted

  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream

  • 3∕₄ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the lemon drizzle:

  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol

  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

  • 1∕₄ teaspoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1∕₄ teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

1. Generously grease a 3-cup tube pan with butter. In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and pink salt. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, melted butter, cream, and vanilla. Stir the dry and wet ingredients together until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

2. Pour 1 cup water into the Instant Pot. Place a trivet with handles in the pot and place the tube pan on the trivet. Secure the lid on the pot and close the pressure-release valve. Set the pot to HIGH pressure for 25 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, quick-release the pressure. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Invert the cake onto the wire rack and let cool completely.

3. Meanwhile, make the lemon drizzle: In a small bowl, combine the powdered erythritol, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, and 1∕4 teaspoon water. Stir until drizzling consistency. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
