keto orange cake

Do you miss orange bakes? This keto cake is super rich in orange citrus fragrance but with no orange juice used. The flavour is enhanced with just the orange zest and lemon zest and a little orange extract. It tastes exactly like a ordinary orange pound cake but yet it is just 1.6g net carb per slice. Hope you will like this and please give it a try as it is super simple. For any stevia extract ingredient used, you can always substitute it with sweetener of your liking if you do not have it in your kitchen pantry, or even leave it out if you want the cake to be super less sweet version. Make it your own :) Happy baking and happy Saturday!
