Keto Hummingbird Cake – Low Carb & Gluten Free
This decadent Keto Hummingbird Cake has all the trademark tropical flavors of the classic Southern favorite – and nobody will believe it’s low carb and gluten free!

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated erythritol sweetener (I used Swerve)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar sweetener (I used Lakanto)
- 6 large eggs
- 3 cups very fine blanched almond flour (I used Wellbees)
- 1 cup of coconut flour
- pinch of salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 4 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons of banana extract
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh pineapple
- 1/2 cup unsweetened grated coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- Keto Cream Cheese Frosting (double batch)
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for toasted garnish
- 8 walnut halves to decorate the cake (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease two 9-inch cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper (cut into rounds to fit) so the finished cake doesn’t stick to the bottom.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sweeteners with a mixer until smooth.
- Add the egg, almond flour, coconut flour, salt, cinnamon, allspice, baking powder, xanthan gum, vanilla extract, banana extract, and almond milk.
- Blend for 2 – 3 minutes or until completely smooth.
- Stir in the chopped pineapple, 1/2 cup shredded coconut, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
- Divide the dough (it will be thick) into two cake molds and spread it evenly with a silicone spatula.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake and cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, spread 1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Take it out and set it aside to decorate.
- Carefully run a knife around the rim to remove the first cake, then turn it over onto a cake plate or pedestal.
Put about 1/3 of the cream cheese frosting in the center of the cake and carefully spread it around the edges with a warm knife. - Place the second cake upside down on the frosting layer.
- Carefully frost the top and sides of the cake.
- Press the toasted coconut evenly around the edges of the cake with your hands and blow or wipe off any excess coconut when done.
- If desired, decorate the top of the cake with walnut halves.
- It can be served immediately, but I think it’s better after refrigerating for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
