This rich and dense gluten free pound cake has the perfect, buttery soft crumb. Made with coconut flour this recipe is nut-free, paleo and grain-free.
Ok, I’m warning you. This pound cake is addictive and you will probably have to spend 100% of your time telling yourself NOT to eat it all.
At least I did. Summer is in full swing and this would be heaven to top this with whipped cream and berries.
Yesterday we walked to the market and I bought two flats of strawberries with the idea that I would be making this paleo pound cake.
I started cleaning them, my least favorite part, and randomly popped a dozen few strawberries in my mouth. My son ate a good dozen more and before I knew it, there was only a quart left.
What you need for this Gluten Free Pound Cake recipe
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup Coconut milk
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup Butter, melted
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 Teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon baking soda
I knew Mr. Bejelly would straight up have a fit if he didn’t get any so… yeah. I’m still working on eating this with berries.
You can’t have a pound cake without butter but if you can’t eat dairy then please try ghee first so you can get the true flavor of this recipe.
I specifically made this with coconut flour so it could be nut-free.
Common Questions about Gluten Free Pound Cakes
How do you keep a gluten free cake moist?
You really want to make sure to keep the baked good in a sealed container. This will help prevent moisture loss. Also, this recipe is filled with a lot of liquids to help keep it buttery and moist.
Why is my gluten free cake rubbery?
Overworking the batter, especially if you are using xanthum gum can make cakes rubbery.
Is gluten free pound cake better the next day?
Yes, it is. The flavors will have a chance to mingle. Just make sure to keep it in a air tight sealed container to prevent it from drying.

Is there a specific size loaf pan that should be used? I have regular sized and mini loaf pans.
one regular loaf hun
I made the paleo pound cake today. I changed a couple of things: I used organic raw blue agave instead of honey and earth balance organic whipped butter instead of reg butter. It is very good!! I’d make it again. Next Time I’d try the honey. I just didn’t have any.
Nasty, nasty, nasty. My pound cake looked nothing like the picture and is basically a yellow brick. Yes I used and followed the directions. Even added more liquid, still not a batter, just a gloppy mess. My guy ate it with some fresh berries and asked how much was left. I showed the remaining loaf and he said “throw it out, this is disgusting.” We won’t be doing this again.
Sorry it didn’t work for you hun.
Haven’t tried it yet. Will try this weekend and send comments. My husband and I have been paleo for 2years in an effort to eliminate his diabetes…YEAH we have been successful. Absolutely no drugs at all! Looking forward to trying your recipes 😘
Congrats on your husband beating diabetes naturally! I hope you enjoy the recipe hon.
This was delicious. Thank you for sharing! I haven’t had pound cake in years since days of buying Entenmann’s . I used this for strawberry shortcake and bf, who is not paleo did not notice any difference!
This was delicious! Good crumb and it looked just like a regular pound cake.
Love it!! Thank you for this recipe!! The first cake was such a hit, I’m making my 2nd one already!! My husband and I are doing a 6 wk challenge that doesn’t allow honey so I swapped coconut palm sugar instead. It worked great. Thanks again!!
So glad you both enjoyed it Michelle.
