INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTION:
BUTTER:
- It is good for a keto diet because it maintains low-carb content and contains high fat. You may use coconut flour as a substitution, but the flavor may alter.
BREWED COFFEE:
- The use of brewed coffee provides aromatic cake flavor and helps to give deep flavor to the coffee. It also includes moisture without adding carbs. If you want a strong flavor, you can use espresso.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- It is a good absorber of moisture and gives a structure.
WALNUTS:
- We use walnuts to deliver warmth, crispness, and healthy fats. They combine properly with the coffee flavor and maintain low carbs.
KETO SWEETENER:
- The use of erythritol is perfect because it keeps the cake sweet without using extra sugar. It will maintain carbs. If you want a sharp sweetness, you can use monk fruit or allulose for a tender crumb.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- It delivers a moist and soft crumb. It uses wheat flour in place of almond flour to decrease the total carb amount.
