Keto Air Fryer Zucchini Cake Tips

We have used erythritol to sweeten our Keto cake. You may however swap this for your preferred low carb granulated sweetener, adjusting quantities as necessary. This Keto air fryer cake is deliciously rich and moist as it is. However, you may wish to serve with a portion of low carb berries or a scoop of your favorite Keto ice cream. If you do not have an air fryer you can bake the cake in an oven at the same temperature for 40-45 minutes or until risen, golden and a skewer comes out clean.

Ingredients

3 large raw egg
2 ⅔ cup, ground almonds, raw
1 cup zucchini
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup 100% pure erythritol by now
⅓ cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
¼ teaspoon salt, sea salt
¼ cup unsalted butter

Instructions

Add the butter to a food processor. Add the erythritol or your preferred low carb sweetener. Blend together until combined and creamy.
Add the ground almonds, baking soda, salt, lemon juice, vanilla and cocoa powder. Blend again until smooth and well combined. This mixture will be very thick and doughy at this stage.
Crack the eggs into the food processor. Blend again to combine. You should now have a thick and smooth cake batter.
Squeeze any excess liquid from the zucchini with your hands. Add the shredded zucchini to the food processor. Stir gently with a wooden spoon to mix into the batter.
Lightly grease the sides and base of a 6 inch air fryer cake tin with a little butter. Spoon the cake batter into the prepared cake tin. Level the batter with a spatula to ensure it is smooth and even on the surface.
Place the cake tin inside your air fryer basket and place the basket in the air fryer. Set the temperature to 325 degrees. Set the timer for 35 minutes. After this time, check a skewer comes out of the center of the cake clean. Bake for longer if required. Allow the cake to cool in the tin then carefully turn out onto a serving plate.
