Low Carb Raspberry Lemon Cream Cakes are small bites of tender, sweet lemon cake topped with a raspberry glaze. This is not a tangy lemon cake but rather a creamy lemon and vanilla flavor. Easy to make, low carb, gluten free, and oh so good!
For this recipe you’ll need: almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, baking soda, eggs, sour cream, coconut oil, lemon zest, chia seeds, vanilla extract, lemon juice, 0 carb raspberry jelly, and salt.

I made these Low Carb Raspberry Lemon Cream Cakes in a cannelle pan so that they would be pretty but you can make them in a muffin tin if you like. I think the canele pan gives them a little more tender texture, however.
So, I was making a lemon pound cake the other day and smelling all of that lemon made me really crave a cake of my own! The recipe called for chia seeds and I decided right then that I was going to try to make a low carb version.

I think these came out pretty perfectly, too.These tender little bites are perfect for a quick snack or to kill a craving for something sweet. Let them cool completely — the flavor and texture are better after at least an hour. I am not sure why but they are.
I always make my low carb foods in small portions because I am the only one in my family that eats low carb. I love seeing the beautiful big low carb cakes and full casseroles on Pinterest but honestly that would not work around here. These little cakes, muffins, or whatever you want to call them, slip easily into a freezer container and you can freeze them for up to three months — probably more. That way you can enjoy them when you want to without worrying about half of them going bad.

I am hoping this helps me. I have been terrible about staying low carb. I think it is difficult because I am a food writer and I write about “regular” food. It’s difficult to make a chocolate truffle cake without tasting it to make sure you got it right. My family eats really high on the carb meter, too. Those nasty carbs are everywhere and they beckon me, damn them.

Hopefully having low carb stuff like this around more will help.
