Evenly distribute the streusel over the blueberries.

If you want a cream cheese layer with a smooth and creamy texture, let your cream cheese get to room temperature before you mix it with the sweetener, egg white, and vanilla. This helps to create a smooth texture so that the cream cheese is more evenly distributed throughout the cake.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Sweetener – If you would like to customize this recipe with a different sweetener that is also low-carb and is not the Besti Monk Fruit and Allulose sweetener, that is fine, although I cannot guarantee the measurements or final outcome with other sweeteners since this recipe was specifically designed around that sweetener.

Almond Flour – You can replace almond flour with an equal amount of sunflower seed flour or sesame seed flour if you have a nut allergy or just want a different flavor.

Xanthan Gum – If you have xanthan gum and want to replace it, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of psyllium husk powder to try to replace it. Xanthan gum was used here as a binding agent.

VARIATIONS

Lemon Blueberry – For a refreshing addition to the cake batter, you can add the zest of a lemon. To cool the cake, you could also use a lemon glaze that is made with lemon juice and sweetener that is powdered.

Mixed Berry – To add a more complex flavor, you can use a blend of low-carb berries like strawberries and raspberries along with the blueberries.

Nutty Delight – If you want some crunch and nutty goodness, stir in some chopped pecans or walnuts into the streusel topping.

STORAGE

To preserve the Keto Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake, place it in the fridge in an airtight container. In the fridge, it stays good for about 4 to 5 days.

For an even longer lifespan, feel free to freeze it. Simply take a piece of plastic wrap, wrap it around the entire cake, or in individual slices, and place it in a freezer bag or a freezer friendly container. It lasts in the freezer for about 2 to 3 months.

TOP TIP

When the baking time is done and the cake is ready, the streusel topping crumbles nicely into pieces and is a yummy addition. Don’t forget to place tin foil on top for the baking time to avoid the top burning, but make sure to leave room for steam to escape the cake so it bakes evenly without being brown on top.
