Tips & Tricks

Preparation tips

To make this keto pound cake even more flavorful, use grass-fed butter instead of regular butter. Another useful tip, especially for new ketoers, is to use organic full-fat cream cheese. This will help boost your fat intake and achieve ketosis faster. For the best results, follow the recommended egg size which is large. Remember to choose Erythritol as a sweetener – not granulated sugar.

Nutritional benefits

Thanks to the eggs, this low-carb treat is a good source of vitamins B2, B5, and B12, and selenium for a better mood and stronger immunity. With a total fat of 31.9 grams, each serving will sustain your energy.
