What could be better than beautiful little Strawberry Lemon Cake Bites with a Cheesecake Swirl? Not much. These are perfect for breakfast, afternoon snacks, or tea parties.
I originally set out to make scones but these came out more cakey than sconey and they were so delicious I didn't want to mess up the recipe tweaking it. I scored this cute Nordic Ware Mini Scone Pan for $3 at a rummage sale a few weeks ago. I've always wanted one so I was thrilled to get such a great deal.
A local Visiting Nurses Association has a huge rummage sale (thousands of people and dozens of tents) in October and May and I try to go each time. Many of my blog props are from that kitchen tent. I love the feeling of finding little treasures amidst the chaos.
I got nervous about the batter releasing from the pan and baked half in the scone pan and half in a cupcake tin. But I shouldn't have. They popped out easily. This pan is amazing!
Note: At this time the original product I used in this recipe, Stevia Kitchens Jam, is not available. In the meantime, you can make your own Sugar-Free Strawberry Jam with my easy recipe or shop for another Keto Strawberry Jam.
Cake Batter:
1.5 cups almond flour
1 tbsp coconut flour
5 tbsp Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
¼ teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tbsp butter
¼ cup sour cream
1 egg
½ cup chopped strawberries
Cheesecake Filling:
4 oz cream cheese
¼ cup Keto Strawberry Jam
2 tablespoon Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)
Glaze:
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon Keto Strawberry Jam
1 tablespoon Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)
I spread a little extra jam on a strawberry lemon cake and then took a bite. And repeated. I had two of the cupcakes for breakfast and then ate the two triangles on the plate after the photo shoot. With no regrets.

Strawberry Lemon Cakes
Ingredients
Cake Batter:
- 1.5 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 5 tablespoon Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 egg
- ½ cup chopped strawberries
Cheesecake Filling:
- 4 oz cream cheese
- ¼ cup strawberry jam
- 2 tablespoon Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
Glaze:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Combine all the batter ingredients (except the berries) and mix until smooth. Gently fold in the strawberries. Set aside.
- In a small bowl combine the filling ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Put half the batter into a mini scone pan, cupcake tin, or other individual baking pan. Drop spoonfuls of the filling on top. Spoon on the rest of the batter. It's ok if some of the filling peeks through.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes or until golden.
- Combine the ingredients for the glaze and mix until smooth. I processed for a few seconds in my rocket blender. Spread the glaze on the warm tea cakes.
- Serve with additional Stevia Kitchens Strawberry Jam.
