Oops! I did it again! 4-Ingredient flour-less bread (AKA: Chocolate Pound Cake!) It’s a play off of my 4-ingredient Sunbutter bread (you know, that green bread that boomed on Instagram) but this time I made a few adjustments. And yes, it’s still 4 ingredients!
• Paleo
• Keto
• Sugar Free
• Yeast Free
• Gluten Free
• Grain Free
• Coconut Free
• Oil Free
• Candida Diet Friendly
• Diabetic Friendly
Spread some 2-Ingredient Frosting on a thick slice and you’ve gone to Paleo Pound Cake heaven!
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup smooth nut butter
1/3 cup Santa Barbara Chocolate red cacao powder ($10 off: lilsipper)
*2 Tbsp date syrup or honey (see note below)
Directions:
1. Beat eggs and baking powder with an electric/stand mixer until eggs fluff.
2. Add almond butter and cacao powder and continue beating until a thick, sticky batter forms.
3. Line a standard bread loaf pan with parchment paper and bake at 350 F for 30-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
*I personally did not add honey as I prefer without, however if you are used to sweet things then you may want to add 1-2 Tbsp honey. For keto, candida, & diabetic diets best to leave out.

Hi Devyn,
It makes one bread loaf. 🙂
Annemarie says
I made this and it was so dry even though I baked it for just 30 minutes! Is it supposed to be dry or did I do something wrong? SOS!
Bethany says
hmm sounds like something wasn’t right…so many others have made ti and it came out great.
Tracy Applin says
I made this bread so good! Next time I will try it with the honey 🙂

Just made it using crunchy almond butter! So good 😍
Kaitlyn says
Could I use carob powder instead of Cacao powder?
Bethany says
yes you can 🙂
Kaitlyn says
I tried the carob and additionally made the pound cake vegan by using aquafaba instead of eggs and it turned out on point 🙂
Bethany says
that’s great to know!
Sharon says
what is something I can substitute for the red cacoa powder that is not quite as expensive and available locally?
Bethany says
any cacao powder will do 🙂
shelby says
can I ask what the benefits of red cacao powder vs other cacao powders is?
Bethany says
it tastes better 🙂
shelby says
That is my favorite reason! I’ll take it lol, Thanks! 🙂
Amy says
Yum! I have been craving a chocolatey bread lately, this looks perfect! What are your thoughts of subbing peanut butter and adding zucchini, as far as the texture of the bread goes? Thank you for all of your awesome recipes!
Bethany says
Hi Amy,
Please read the post below before eating peanut butter. And feel free to experiment with veggies and let me know how it goes. )

Nat says
Can I sub the almond butter with different nut butter? Like cashew or hazelnut? <3
Bethany says
Yes you sure can!
Sandy says
Do you have the nutrition on this?
Bethany says
Hi Sandy,
Sorry I personally don’t cont calories but feel free to calculate yourself if you like. 🙂
Kimberly says
Can this be made with sunbutter instead?
Bethany says
Hi Kimberly,
Yes it can, but the taste will be slightly different (but still good I assume) and the color may be off. But technically speaking you can.
