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.

Recipe Tips

If you don't have blackberries, blueberries would be a great substitution.

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 ?

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.

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.
