Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated erythritol or keto sweetener
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (optional)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp apple extract
  • 1/2 cup grated zucchini (peeled)

For the Frosting

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered erythritol
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Whisk to remove lumps.
  • Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Add melted butter, apple extract, and applesauce (if using). Mix well, then fold in grated zucchini.
  • Combine Batter: Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and thick.
  • Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make Frosting: Beat softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Gradually add powdered erythritol, then stir in vanilla extract and cinnamon.
  • Assemble: Spread frosting over the cooled cake. Optionally, dust with cinnamon or sprinkle with chopped nuts.

Notes

  • Optional applesauce adds extra moisture but can be skipped for fewer carbs.
  • Store cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
