This was a request on one of my youtube videos and boy am I glad I did it! This is the BEST keto coffee cake I’ve ever had. It’s moist, it’s dense but not too heavy. It’s just right. This is definitely something to make if you’re having afternoon tea, family dinner or any occasion.
I got the inspiration from THIS recipe by the One Pot Chef! I decided to make it keto (and also altered just a teenybit)
You definitely don’t have to add the syrup, but it keeps it moist and boosts the coffee flavour just a bit. HIGHLY recommend.
If you want to bake this in a regular square or circle cake pan, just make sure it is fully cooked before you take it out of the oven. Definitely stick a tooth pick into the middle and if it comes out clean, with no batter – you’re good to go!

Keto Coffee Cake
This is the BEST keto coffee cake I've ever had. It's moist, it's dense but not too heavy. It's just right. This is definitely something to make if you're having afternoon tea, family dinner or any occasion.
Ingredients
CAKE
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup brewed coffee (I used instant)
- 100g softened butter
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar substitute (I used Swerve)
- 2 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
SYRUP:
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup Swerve
- 1/2 tsp instant coffee
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together your sour cream and coffee until smooth. Mix in your softened butter, again mixing until smooth. Finally add in your eggs one at a time. Whisk between each egg.
- Stir in your sugar substitute until it has dissolved. In a separate bowl or measuring cup, mix together your almond flour and baking powder. Fold your flour into the coffee mix 1/4 cup at a time.
- Once it's all mixed in, pour it into a greased bundt cake pan. Bake at 350 for roughly 30-40 minutes. Check often and make sure to insert a toothpick to make sure it's done.
- Take the cake out and leave it to cool for 10-15 minutes before taking it out of the pan.
- While you wait, stir together your water and swerve on medium heat. Stir until the sugar substitute dissolves. Add in your instant coffee, then set aside and let cool.
- When ready to serve, pour a portion of the syrup onto the cake (leave the rest for later if it's too dry) and top with powdered sugar substitute. (Swerve had powdered erythritol)
- Cut and Serve!
Notes
This makes roughly 8 pieces.

Hi Debbie:
Love this recipe but I haven’t quite got it right yet and I am not a super baker so I have a couple of questions. First I made it using a regular bundt pan and it stuck, but the pieces were delicious! So, I bought a silicone bundt pan and it came out of the pan beautifully and the edges were nicely browned and it really looked enticing. I cut into it and it was still dough in the middle. š This second time around I used superfine almond flour and confectioner’s Swerve, would the alteration of those two ingredients likely cause this or do I need to dial back the temperature and cook it longer?
Thank you for any insight you can share!
It might be the confectioners sugar that is causing it to be wet still in the inside. If you try again, use the same type that you used for the first time and use the silicon. See if that works! Let me know!
Really enjoyed this recipe! One of the only āCoffee Cakeā recipes I could find that actually had coffee in it ?
I added a pinch of salt and some Vanilla essence to my cake, and for the syrup I used a quarter cup of sugar free maple syrup instead of a powdered sweetener. I only needed about 1/2 of the syrup though, so Iāll save the leftover syrup for my next cake!
I also made a sweet cream cheese icing that I drizzled over the top of it.
Delicious! Will definately make it again ā¤
