This Keto Raspberry Lemon Loaf is one delicious low-carb dessert. And if you like to enjoy a slice of coffee cake for breakfast, this easy cake might be just what you are looking for.
The lemon raspberry combo can’t be beat in any dessert recipe, although you can other berries, too. Blackberries, blueberries or strawberries are all keto-friendly and will work just fine.
Don’t skip the glaze, even if you make the sweetener-free option, it may just be the best part!
Note: The glaze is very sweet and may be too sweet for those who are used to low-carb eating. Alternatively, you can use the glaze in our Low-Carb Lemon Cake which is made with melted coconut butter, coconut oil, lemon juice and lemon zest (sweetener can be skipped or used to taste).
