Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • ¾ cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • Pinch of salt

Equipment

  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Measuring Cups & Spoons
  • 1 Electric mixer (optional)
  • 1 Baking pan (8-inch round or loaf pan)
  • 1 Parchment Paper
  • 1 Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and line your baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Wet Mixture: In a mixing bowl, cream together soft butter and erythritol. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract for flavour.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Combine Batter: Gently stir in the dry ingredients into the wet. (Note: If you do not have whole wheat pastry flour, sub APF Add almond milk slowly until you get a smooth batter.
  5. Bake the Cake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool & Serve: After 10 minutes of resting, turn the cake over onto a wire rack. Slice, eat plain or with keto frosting.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature eggs for fluffier texture.
  • And be gentle with that batter — you won’t want a dense cake.
  • To really make these pop, you could freshly grate some lemon zest.
  • A cream cheese lemon frosting adds richness to it.
  • Place the leftovers in an airtight container and keep for upto 4 days.
