Keto Brown Butter Cake

Step 1

In a small saucepan, preferably a stainless steel pan brown the butter for the cake over medium heat making sure to stir constantly. The butter will begin to foam and bubble and after 2-4 minutes and you should begin to see brown bits on the bottom of the pan. At this point remove from the heat immediately and continue to stir until the butter begins to lightly brown to a golden amber color.

Step 2

Transfer the brown butter to the refrigerator and allow the butter to become opaque and solid, this can take up to two hours.

Step 3

Once the butter is solid bring it to room temperature about 20 minutes so that it softens.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 5

Grease well with solid butter a 12 cup capacity bundt pan.

Measure and sift the almond flour and place in a large bowl.

Step 7

Step 17

Bake the cake in the center rack for 45-50 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Step 18

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting to a baking rack.

Step 19

While the cake cools completely on the baking rack make the butter icing.

Step 20

Then drizzle the entire cake with the icing allowing it to seep into the cake.
