  2. 2In a very large bowl, add 1.25 cups (125g) of superfine almond flour.
  3. 3Add a heaping 1/2 cup (100g) of confectioner's erythritol to the bowl.
  4. 4Add a teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt to the bowl.
  5. 5Whisk the dry ingredients together to ensure everything is combined, then set the bowl aside.
  6. 6Cut and cube 3.5 ounces (100g) of full-fat cream cheese (room temperature) and add it to a separate wet ingredient bowl.
  7. 7Add four tablespoons of coconut oil to the wet ingredient bowl.
  8. 8Add four large eggs to the wet ingredient bowl.

  12. 12Mix both dry and wet ingredients together with a spatula, then use a hand mixer to fully combine everything until a batter forms.
  13. 13Transfer the batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper, coating the parchment paper with baking spray.

  15. 15Remove the pound cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the tray.
  16. 16While the pound cake is cooling, prepare the icing by adding a heaping 1/4 cup (50g) of confectioner's erythritol to a small dish.
  17. 17Add a heaping tablespoon of unsweetened almond milk to the dish.
  18. 18Mix these two ingredients together with a spoon or spatula until a thick glaze forms.
