Ingredients:
For the Topping:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
- 7-8 pineapple rings (canned in juice, not syrup)
- Maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
For the Cake:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
For the Topping:
- Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the granulated erythritol and cook until it caramelizes and turns golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the caramel into the greased cake pan, ensuring it coats the bottom evenly.
- Arrange the pineapple rings on top of the caramel, placing a maraschino cherry in the center of each ring if desired.
For the Cake:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated erythritol, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Carefully pour the cake batter over the pineapple rings in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, place a serving plate on top of the pan and carefully flip the cake onto the plate, allowing the pineapple topping to shine.
Note: This Keto Pineapple Upside-Down Cake brings a taste of the tropics to your keto journey, offering a satisfying dessert without the sugar.
