Frequently asked questions
Almond flour has only 6 grams of carbs in 1/4 cup serving and that makes it the flour that is lowest in carbs. There are two types of almond flour: almond meal and almond flour. Almond meal is made from almonds that have skins, so it has a grainy texture. Almond flour, made from finely ground-blanched almonds, has a delicate flavor that doesn’t taste like nuts. Its texture is smooth and fine, making it an excellent choice for gluten-free baking.
No, it will help you to stay on ketosis. Almond flour is great for baking, especially if you’re looking for a low-carb alternative to all-purpose flour. Almond flour is an excellent and most widely used keto alternative to traditional flour. Because it’s low-carb, high in fat, moderate in protein, and has great flavor, almond flour is the top choice for keto baking.
Almond meal and flour are similar but not identical. Both work great for gluten-free, paleo, low carb, and keto recipes. The benefit of using almond meal over almond flour is that you get the extra nutrients and fiber that are in the skin, as well as protein and healthy fat. Almond meal is a great flour substitute for low-carb, keto, and gluten-free recipes such as cookies, muffins, and cakes. When you bake with almond meal, the baked goods will have a lovely wholesome brown speckle through them.
Ingredients of Keto Almond Cake – Swedish Ikea Cake
- Eggs
- Almonds (ground and sliced almonds)
- Butter
- Granulated sweetener
- Heavy whipping cream
- Vanilla extract (optional)
How to make this tasty low in carbs Keto Almond Cake recipe
• Toast the almonds on a pan – toasting almonds is easy – watch them closely and stir often. They go from golden to burnt in just a minute or two.
• Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
• Beat the egg whites adding just a pinch of salt. Add the sugar gradually and use room-temperature eggs so they’ll whip up with more volume. Gradually fold ground almonds. If you don’t have ground almonds, grind whole almonds in a food processor and then measure out the amount you need. (Make sure not to over-process the almonds or you’ll end up with almond butter instead). Divide the batter equally between two 7″ round pans lined with parchment paper. Bake until golden. Let it cool.
• To make the egg yolks cream, use a small saucepan over medium heat. Let it cool before using.
• Cream the butter. When beating butter, you want it to turn light and fluffy, but not melt.
• Mix the egg yolks cream with the butter adding a dash of vanilla extract (if desired). Add a good quality vanilla extract to the cream for extra flavor.
• Finish cake with almonds. Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the cake. Keep the cake in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving.
