This moist keto pound cake is flavoured with blackberries and lemon for a sweet but sharp taste. Baked with coconut flour it surprisingly light due to the addition of sour cream.
I had some blackberries and sour cream left over in the fridge and thought that I could either (a) Eat them together in a bowl (b) Make a cake. The Chief Taster's choice won, so I decided thatI would try a low carb pound cake with coconut flour and added some lemon to give the cake a bit more flavour.
Is sour cream keto?
Thankfully sour cream is fine for a keto lifestyle. It's one of my favourite dairy products and part of my weekly grocery shop! According to theUSDA, 12g of sour cream (a tablespoon) has 2.3 g fat, 0.3 g protein, and 0.5 g carbohydrates, with only 24 calories.
How to make a low carb pound cake
This is an easy cake to make. You mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another bowl. Then combine the two and a sour cream pound cake is ready to bake!
The ingredients use to make this cake are in the photo below.

Recipe Tips
I used a 1 pound loaf tin measuring 8. 5 x 4. 5 x 2. 75 inches. The one I used has high edges and seems to always give great results.
If you don't have blackberries, blueberries would be a great substitution.

I am about to make this recipe as it looks great.
Is it possible to add weight measurements to the recipe as well as they're much more accurate.
ThanksReply

Oh dear it didn't work for me, I followed th recipe less one egg and made sure the berries where dry and checked it was cooked after opinions with using a tooth pick it was clear then left it to dry in the tin. It turned out like a sour salty wet sponge..........i think two lemons plus salt was too much, i must have done something wrong ?

I'm sorry to hear that. Perhaps adjust the liquid element and reduce the eggs. My eggs are medium sized.

This recipe says it is 4 servings. Does that mean 2 slices/serving which would be 6 net X 2???
Or is it 8 servings of 1 slice each???Reply
Angela Coleby
It should say 4 people...it makes 8 slices.

tried this yesterday, didn't alter the recipe at all but it ended up being an egg loaf basically.. 🙁 I hate eggs and their flavor so I couldn't get past one bite.. hubby didn't like it at all either and he likes eggs. I can't tell if this is user error or the recipe.. help? I really wanted to like this.

Hi Cassandra, sorry to hear it didn't work. I am wondering whether it is to do with the egg size? I used fairly medium sized eggs. Perhaps yours were larger? Perhaps use 6 eggs if you try it again? Thanks for popping by!

I agree, 8 was entirely too many eggs. I would’ve probably been better off with only 6.

It might be the size of our eggs here! Not the biggest in the world.

Hi made this but was cooked within an hour and top was quite crusty. In fridge overnight and was moist almost wet!!!!. Could it have been the moisture in the blackberries after washing them? Any suggestions for adding an alternative? Although checked it was cooked with a stick and looked ok could I have under cooked it.
Like the cake but a bit drier would be nice for me anyway.Barbara

Hi Barbara. I would try a higher oven temperature and make sure the blackberries are dry. Hope it works out!

Thanks for reply! Have you baked this with an alternative to lemon and blackberries?

Morning another problem was the outside was really getting burnt so I reduced the cooking time to 1hour! Could I put nuts and raisins in or something else?

Oooh - nuts and rasins sound a lovely idea!

All updated on the recipe page. I will try my best to do this before publishing recipes! I've assumed 8 slices per loaf, so adjust accordingly if you slice thinner than I do!

This looks great! I'm wondering about a sweetener. I noticed you didn't include one in the recipe. Are the berries enough sweetness?
