This Keto Cloud Cake is soft, light, buttery, and low in carbs. It has a tender texture, gentle sweetness, and rich buttery flavor from the combination of softened butter and yogurt.

Ingredients
For the Cake
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or unsweetened coconut yogurt
- 1½ cups powdered erythritol

- 1¼ cups coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar-free vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt

- 5 large eggs
How to Make Keto Cloud Cake
Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C).
Grease a 22 cm round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
The parchment will make it easier to remove the cake once it has cooled.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Erythritol
Add the softened butter and powdered erythritol to a large mixing bowl.
Beat them together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Take your time with this step because well-combined butter and sweetener help create a softer cake texture.
Step 3: Add the Eggs
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Adding them gradually helps keep the batter smooth and evenly combined.
Step 4: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, add the coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Whisk or stir until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 5: Combine the Batter
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and egg mixture.
Alternate between adding some of the dry mixture and some of the yogurt, mixing gently after each addition.
Continue until everything is incorporated and the batter looks smooth and evenly combined.
Avoid overmixing. Stop as soon as the ingredients are incorporated.
Step 6: Add the Vanilla
Pour in the sugar-free vanilla extract.
Give the batter one final gentle mix to distribute the vanilla.
The vanilla adds a warm flavor that pairs especially well with the buttery cake.
Step 7: Fill the Cake Pan
Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan.
Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly across the pan and smooth the surface.
Step 8: Bake
Place the cake in the preheated oven.
Bake for approximately 35–40 minutes.
Start checking around the 35-minute mark because baking times can vary depending on the oven and pan.
Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. It should come out clean or with only a few moist crumbs attached.
Step 9: Cool the Cake
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for several minutes.
Then allow it to cool completely at room temperature before slicing.
Once cooled, the cake will be easier to slice and ready to serve.
Tips for the Best Keto Cloud Cake
Use Softened Butter
Room-temperature butter blends much more easily with powdered erythritol and helps create a smooth batter.
Use Powdered Erythritol
Powdered erythritol gives the cake a smoother texture than coarse granules.
Measure Coconut Flour Carefully
Coconut flour absorbs a lot of moisture, so measuring it carefully is important. Too much coconut flour can make the cake dry.
Don’t Overmix
Mix only until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can make the cake heavier.
Check the Cake Early
Every oven is slightly different, so begin checking the cake around 35 minutes rather than relying only on the full baking time.
Let It Cool Before Slicing
Allowing the cake to cool completely helps it develop a better texture and makes slicing easier.
How to Serve Keto Cloud Cake
This cake is delicious on its own, but you can easily dress it up with simple low-carb toppings.
Try serving it with:
- Sugar-free whipped cream
- Fresh blueberries
- Raspberries
- Strawberries
- Unsweetened coconut cream
- Sugar-free chocolate sauce
- A small spoonful of almond butter
For a simple dessert-style finish, dust the top with a little powdered erythritol just before serving.
Storage
Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
It should stay fresh for several days.
If you prefer a softer texture, let a slice sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
You can also freeze individual slices. Wrap each slice well and place them in a freezer-safe container.
Thaw frozen slices in the refrigerator before serving.
