- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
For the Glaze (optional):
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly powdered sweetener
- 1-2 tbsp almond milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch square baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Cream the Butter:
- In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter until it becomes light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla:
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and continue to beat until well incorporated.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the unsweetened almond milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until you have a smooth batter.
6. Fold in Blueberries:
- Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter.
7. Bake:
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Prepare the Glaze (optional):
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered erythritol, almond milk, and vanilla extract until you have a smooth glaze.
9. Glaze the Cake:
- Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes, then drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
