Carnivore Cream Cheese Pound Cake
Ingredients
-
8 oz (225 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
-
4 large eggs, room temperature
-
½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
-
1–2 tbsp powdered erythritol or allulose (optional, only if you allow sweetener)
-
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional, not strict carnivore)
-
Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a small loaf pan or line with parchment.
-
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until completely smooth (no lumps).
-
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
-
Slowly pour in the melted butter while mixing.
-
Add sweetener, vanilla (if using), and salt. Mix until silky.
-
Pour batter into the pan and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 45–55 minutes, until set in the center and lightly golden.
-
Cool completely before slicing (it firms up a lot as it cools).
Tips
-
For strict carnivore, skip sweetener and vanilla—it’ll be more savory, similar to a cheesecake bread.
-
For a lighter texture, blend the batter instead of hand mixing.
-
Store in the fridge up to 5 days.
