INGREDIENT NOTES:

PECANS:

• Pecans are used to make the pecan pound cake, & its frosting.

BUTTER:

• We use the butter to roast the pecans, to make the frosting & cake. I utilize salty butter for all these but we can also utilize unsalted butter also.

ALMOND FLOUR:

• We need properly fine almond flour to make this cake, we can also use pecan flour but only substitute ½ cup of pecan flour with the almond otherwise the cake becomes very dry.

COCONUT FLOUR:

• We can also use coconut flour in small quantities to make a light & fluffy cake. Coconut also helps to lower the carb counts in this cake.

PROTEIN POWDER:

• I use unflavored whey protein powder to make this recipe because it is necessary to make all the keto-friendly cakes to get light & fluffy cakes. If you don’t add the protein powder, so you will not get the perfect cake. You can substitute the whey powder with egg white protein powder as well.

SWEETENER:

• I used swerve brown to make the cake and powdered sweetener to make the frosting.

CREAM CHEESE:

• I use cream cheese to make the frosting and it is combined with the butter. It gives structure to the frosting without adding too much sweetener.

HEAVY CREAM:

• Heavy cream is utilized to make the icing for this pecan butter cake.
