Step-by-Step Instructions
🔥 Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
🥣 Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
🧈 Step 3: Cream Butter and Sweetener
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated erythritol until the mixture is light and fluffy—about 2–3 minutes.
🥚 Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
🥄 Step 5: Alternate Buttermilk and Flour
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry mixture. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix!
🍰 Step 6: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
❄️ Step 7: Cool and Slice
Let the pound cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, slice into 12 equal pieces.
