⏱ Prep & Cook Time
- Prep: 15 minutes
- Cook: 35–40 minutes
- Total: 50–55 minutes
🛒 Ingredients (22 cm cake pan)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
- 1 ½ cups powdered erythritol
- 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 ¼ cups coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (sugar-free)
- A pinch of salt
- 16 g baking powder
- 5 large eggs
📝 Instructions
Step 1 – Preheat oven & prepare pan
Preheat your oven to 360°F (182°C).
Line a 22 cm cake pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean edges.
Step 2 – Cream butter and sweetener
In a large bowl, combine softened butter and powdered erythritol.
Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
Step 3 – Add eggs gradually
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sweetener mixture, mixing well after each addition. This helps the batter stay light and airy.
Step 4 – Combine dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix:
- Coconut flour
- Almond flour
- Baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Whisk the dry ingredients until fully combined.
Step 5 – Alternate wet and dry ingredients
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with Greek or coconut yogurt.
Mix gently but thoroughly until the batter is smooth and uniform.
Step 6 – Add flavor
Stir in vanilla extract to enhance the sweetness and aroma of the cake.
Step 7 – Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes.
Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
Step 8 – Cool and serve
Allow the cake to cool at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before slicing.
Serve as is, or top with sugar-free whipped cream, berries, or a drizzle of melted sugar-free chocolate for extra indulgence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Keto Cloud Cake
1. What makes this cake “keto”?
This Keto Cloud Cake is made with low-carb flours like almond or coconut flour and sweetened with keto-friendly sweeteners such as erythritol or Swerve, keeping it low in carbohydrates while still tasting deliciously sweet.
2. Can I use regular flour instead of almond or coconut flour?
You can, but the texture and carb count will change. Using regular flour will create a denser cake, and it won’t be keto-friendly. For best results, stick to the low-carb flours recommended in the recipe.
3. How do I store this cake?
Store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze individual slices in airtight containers or freezer bags for up to 2 months.
4. Can I make this cake dairy-free?
Yes! Substitute cream cheese and butter with dairy-free alternatives like coconut cream or vegan cream cheese. The texture may vary slightly but it will still be soft and fluffy.
5. Can I add flavors or toppings?
Absolutely! You can fold in citrus zest, cocoa powder, or vanilla extract for extra flavor. Top with whipped cream, berries, or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate for a more decadent dessert.
6. Why is my cake not fluffy?
A few common reasons:
- Eggs weren’t whipped enough to incorporate air.
- Ingredients were overmixed, deflating the batter.
- Oven temperature was too low or too high.

Yes! You can bake it a day in advance and store it in the fridge. It’s also perfect for meal prep or for serving at gatherings.
