I recently bought some defatted almond flour and wanted to try it in something yummy. Decided why not a pound cake? Oh my word! This is fabulous!
I made half my batter as 12 cupcakes and the other half as a cake.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 2 cups SweetEs fusion sweet divided
- 5 eggs room temperature
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 Tbsp aluminum free baking powder
- 1/4 tsp mineral salt
- 1 cup SweetEs All Purpose baking blend
- 1/2 cup Sukrin Defatted almond flour (can use regular)
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1 1/3 cup canned coconut milk (divided)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp butter extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
Instructions
- Place cream cheese, butter and 1 cup Fusion sweet in mixing bowl. Using hand mixer, mix for 90 seconds til creamy. This is your frosting, half of which will later become your sauceting. Set aside
- In second bowl add eggs, baking soda, xanthan gum, baking powder and salt. Mix on high til frothy-about one min.
- Add baking blend and both flours, plus last cup of Fusion sweet-mix on medium until just combined.
- Add 1 cup of coconut milk, plus extracts- mix just until blended.
- Add half of “frosting” mixture from first bowl into second bowl, mix until just combined. Set other half aside
- Let batter sit for 10 minutes.
- Spray bundt pan well with cooking spray, scoop batter into pan, and level with spatula
- Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes.
- While cake is baking, add 1/3 cup of coconut milk, to balance of “frosting” from step 5. Mix with spoon until consistency of toothpaste. This is now your “sauceting” Set aside
- Once is cake done, Frost with Sauceting . For my cupcakes I use 1 tsp on each, then the balance went on the cake.
- If you decide to bake entire recipe as one cake, you will need to increase your cooking time. I’d say 5-10 minute increments, checking for doneness each time

I think I am challenged in reading recipes. Having a hard time trying to navigate this:(
There are 3 components to this recipe? Cake, frosting and sauceting?
Step 4: Add balance of ingredients…does this include the 1 cup of coconut milk?
Step 9: Where do the 1/3 cup of coconut milk for the frosting comes from?
I wonder if it’s possible to have this recipe written in a different format eg cake, frosting, sauceting.
At the beginning you make a frosting – half of which will ultimately turn into more of a sauce (sauceting) with added coconut milk. You make this frosting first. Set it aside. The balance of the ingredients does include the coconut milk yes. The additional 1/3 cup comes from the can that you had to open to get the first cup that went into the batter.The can has close to 2 cups in it.
The order of making the frosting, the cake, then the sauceting is correct as half of the frosting, goes into the cake batter. The Sauceting is made last and added to the cake after baking.
