Pro Tips

• & Variations
• For a fudgier texture, slightly under-mix the batter. Over-mixing can make almond flour cakes tough.
• No fresh raspberries? Frozen ones work perfectly. Add them directly to the batter without thawing to prevent excess moisture.
• Ensure the foil covers are tight. This is crucial to prevent water from the Instant Pot from making the tops of your cakes soggy.
• Feel free to swap the berries! Blueberries or chopped strawberries are excellent low-carb alternatives.
• Serve warm with a dollop of keto-friendly whipped cream or a scoop of low-carb vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat.
