So easy you can make a low carb marble cake with Coconut flour* bake! This is my very favorite Coconut flour* Recipe for a super moist cake without carbohydrates.
A marble cake is really beautiful to look at. The thought of the two-tone cake made of a light part and the dark, chocolate part makes our mouths water.
Right? 😊
Marble cake is a classic. Whether for coffee, a birthday or just on the weekend. The smell alone takes us back to childhood.
And let's be honest: You have to treat yourself to something in between.
It doesn't have to be the cake from the supermarket. The one that still tastes the same after 14 days - namely, like plastic. You can save yourself the many artificial ingredients.
One Marble cake baking is really no art. 👩🍳 Today I'll show you how to use this Coconut flour* Cake without carbs and what is important in the process!
What ingredients do I need for a low carb marble cake?
Before we get to the recipe, I want to tell you what ingredients you need and what you can substitute them with if you don't have them on hand. You should know what you eat :)
Coconut flour
Coconut flour* is rich in fiber and wonderfully filling. At the same time, it is ideal for low-carb cooking, as it is relatively lots of protein and fats, but hardly any carbohydrates. Compared to wheat flour, it is the better choice.
The flour from coconuts is rich in vitamin E, B vitamins, calcium, potassium and magnesium. It also contains secondary plant compounds, fiber and trace elements. Coconut flour* is ideal for anyone with a sensitive stomach. 🥥😋
But there's more. Because this marble cake is not only suitable for anyone on a low-carb diet. It is also nut-free and grain-free. Perfect for you if you suffer from Nut allergy or Gluten intolerance suffer.
Although it is the most important ingredient, you may not have it at home. Coconut flour* can best be described by Almond flour* replace. 1:1 can be Coconut flour* not with Almond flourReplace with *. Coconut flour binds more liquid, which means you need more Almond flour* you need.
As a rough rule of thumb, the exchange ratio is 4:1. Almond flour* It also requires less liquid. I haven't tried it yet, so I can't tell you anything about the perfect quantities.
Xylitol
Birch sugar* brings sweetness to the cake, without him with Household sugar into a calorie bomb. But sugar has no place in a low carb marble cake anyway.
Who is not Xylitol* in the cupboard, he can also Erythritol* It has the great advantage of being completely free of calories.
Birch sugar* is not a bad choice either, as it only has half as many Calories like classic sugar and is demonstrably better for your teeth. 🤗
Do you want to replace sugar in another recipe with Xylitol*, you can do this 1:1. With Erythritol* you have to use a little more, here: 100 grams of sugar have the same sweetening power as 125 grams Erythritol*.
Eggs
They ensure that the dough holds together. Four eggs may seem like a lot for a medium-sized bundt cake - but that's fine. Coconut flour pulls enormously Much liquid.
Therefore, in all recipes with Coconut flour* so many eggs. But this also gives the low carb cake its beautiful color.
But because the eggs are not enough, vegetable oil, coconut milk and water are also used.
Under certain circumstances, chicken eggs can be substituted in baking and cooking. You can find more info here: "How to replace eggs with applesauce“
Coconut oil
Like the classic version, the low carb marble cake also requires vegetable Fat. You can Coconut oil* if you want to emphasize the taste of coconut even more.
Should you choose Coconut oil*, don't forget that you need to melt it before use. This works best in the microwave or in a small saucepan. Coconut oil* melts already at 24° Celsius. So in summer you may not need the microwave or the saucepan.
Coconut milk
Coconut milk makes the batter even juicier. You can either use the low-fat light version or the classic version with approx. 20 % Fat content. This is less about needing more fat and more about the liquid. As you know, coconut flour needs a lot of liquid.
If you don't have coconut milk, you can substitute it with cow's milk or a plant-based drink.
Cocoa
Novice bakers often make the mistake of using a baking spray instead of a Baking cocoa* use the children's breakfast cocoa. But these are two completely different foods.
Baking cocoa* consists of 100 % from Cocoa beans. However, breakfast cocoa only consists of around 20 % of Cocoa powder* - the main ingredient is sugar, dextrose and sometimes milk powder. 😊
So make sure that you Baking cocoa* take. If you don't have any to hand, you can simply leave it out. The cake will only be yellow, but it will still taste good.
Baking powder* should not be missing either, of course. Without the powder, the dough will not rise. You can add a teaspoon Baking powder* with three quarters of a teaspoon Baking soda* replace.

Bake low carb marble cake
Grease the gugelhupfform with coconut oil. To do this, you must first liquefy it and then apply it evenly with a brush.
Pour the light dough into the mold first and then the dark dough. To get a nice pattern, you should mix the dough with a fork.
Bake the cake for 30 minutes and then do the stick test. If the dough sticks to the stick, the cake is not yet ready and must be baked longer. Then extend the baking time by 5 minutes each time.
Remove the cake from the pan while it is still warm. To do this, place a large plate on the opening of the mold and then turn it over.
If you like, sprinkle a little powdered sugar or coconut sprinkles on the cake. And the coconut cake is ready!
It goes well with a cup of coffee, tea or a cup of hot chocolate.
