A nostalgic, low-carb twist on classic Irish apple cake featuring almond flour and a savory garlic butter drizzle for a perfect balance of sweet and savory.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 medium green apples (Granny Smith), peeled and diced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (for apples)
  • 3 tbsp (45g) unsalted butter (for garlic butter drizzle)
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch springform pan with butter or line with parchment paper.
  2. Peel, core, and dice the green apples. Toss with lemon juice and 1 tsp cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, 1 ½ tsp cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and erythritol with an electric mixer or whisk until pale, frothy, and increased in volume (3-4 minutes).
  5. Slowly whisk in melted butter, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and almond milk into the egg mixture.
  6. Fold dry ingredients gently into the wet mixture until just combined.
  7. Fold in the cinnamon-coated apple pieces gently.
  8. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick. Tent with foil after 30 minutes if browning too fast.
  10. While baking, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in parsley and salt, then remove from heat.
  11. Cool cake in pan on a rack for 15 minutes before releasing from pan.
  12. Drizzle garlic butter evenly over the warm cake and let soak in.
  13. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Beat eggs and sweetener until fluffy for a lighter texture. Fold ingredients gently to avoid a dense cake. Keep heat low when melting butter for the garlic drizzle to prevent burning. Tent cake with foil if browning too fast. Let cake cool slightly before drizzling garlic butter to avoid pooling.
