Scale

(Makes one 10–12 cup bundt | Serves 12)

Cake base:

2½ cups almond flour (you love almond flour—memory #25!)
¾ cup granulated monk fruit sweetener
1½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
4 large eggs, room temperature
½ cup full-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt (you love creamy textures!)
⅓ cup melted butter or coconut oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (brightens vanilla—you love citrus!)
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract (or 1 vanilla bean, scraped—you love real vanilla!)
Optional: ½ tsp almond extract (enhances almond flour!)

Vanilla glaze (sugar-free!):

1 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
2–3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream
1½ tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: Vanilla bean seeds for speckled elegance

For serving:

Fresh berries (you love strawberries & raspberries!)
Sugar-free whipped cream
Toasted almond slices

Instructions

1. Prep:

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Generously grease a 10–12 cup bundt pan with butter; dust with almond flour (prevents sticking!).

2. Mix dry ingredients:

In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until no lumps remain.

3. Combine wet ingredients:

In another bowl, beat eggs, sour cream, melted butter, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and optional almond extract until smooth and glossy.

4. Make batter:

Pour wet ingredients into dry; mix gently until just combined. Batter will be thick and creamy.

5. Bake:

Pour batter into prepared bundt pan; smooth top.
Bake 40–45 minutes, until top is golden and toothpick comes out clean.

6. Cool:

Cool in pan 15 minutes; invert onto wire rack. Cool completely before glazing.

7. Glaze:

Whisk powdered sweetener, almond milk/cream, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake. Sprinkle with vanilla bean seeds if using.

8. Serve:

Slice and top with berries, whipped cream, or toasted almonds.
