What you need

  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 cup Keto Sweet Zero (my new product)
  • 1½ cups desiccated coconut (fine)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • ½ cup dried pitted chewy dates
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (finely chopped) or a tablespoon dried organic
  • 2 teaspoons Ceylon Cinnamon (it’s the only ‘real’ cinnamon)
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate Soda (mine is aluminium free)
  • Pinch salt (I use Himalayan salt)
  • 4 large organic eggs
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, or butter, or coconut oil, or macadamia nut oil (olive oil gives this cake richness and adds to the fruitiness of the overall flavour)
  • ½ cup water

  1. Preheat oven 175ºC
  2. Line a cake tin with non-stick baking paper (not wax paper)
  3. Place all DRY ingredients and fresh rosemary into your food processor and grind down until ingredients are finely chopped – like fine bread crumbs

  6. Combine all the above well using a whisk
  7. Pour mixture into lined cake tin
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes on middle shelf of the oven
