Recipe Notes
The perfect blending of my husband's favorite flavor and mine... into one cake! And it's low carb!
You can find Xanthan Gum practically everywhere now. Walmart, Whole Foods, Earth Fare, Fresh Market and many regular grocery stores.
A variation on the coconut pound cake… as promised! If you love almond and coconut flavors… you will really like this pound cake. My husband went back and got a second piece! (Okay… so did I, but I did have some carbs to play with!)
To be honest, on this cake, I couldn’t tell it from the wheat flour version. The texture was the same.
By the way, on the cake pictured, I didn’t have large eggs and so I just used 5 extra large eggs.
In my town… the local bakery is famous for its almond cake. It is the base for all their cakes and cupcakes. You actually have to ask for vanilla instead of the almond flavor if you want it! I was really missing these cakes , but this recipe helped make up for that loss!!!
