I found a recipe for gf pound cake. I've not tried it yet, but I think I'm about to die of the happies 
We have a family recipe that was given to us a loooooong time ago called Sicilian Cake, which has been a holiday family fave for years, but since we are diabetic/gf in my house this has been impossible. With the gf pound cake and a bit of recipe re-engineering I should be able to come up with something close enough to satisfy 
I will post the original Sicilian Cake recipe in a bit.

Low Carb Classic Almond Flour Pound Cake
Ingredients:
· 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) softened at room temperature
· 1/2 cup full fat cream cheese
· 1 cup Splenda (or 4 teaspoons of liquid vanilla flavoured Hermesetas and 1/2 cup of aspartame sugar substitute...)
· 5 large eggs, at room temperature
· 2 cups almond flour
· 1 teaspoon baking powder
· 1 teaspoon lemon extract
· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cream butter, cream cheese and Splenda together, mixing well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. In a separate bowl, mix almond flour with baking powder. Add egg/butter mixture to flour a little at a time while beating. Add lemon and vanilla extracts.
Pour into greased 9"-10" Springform pan, bundt pan, ring pan, (or 9" round cake pan) and bake at 350°F for 50-55 minutes.
Makes 12 servings. 6.1 net grams of carbohydrate per serving.
