No fat, oil, or gluten, this cake is deliciously moist with a great crumb texture and a fresh and vibrant lemon flavor.
To make this sticky and sweet lemon cake we’ll be using almond flour, eggs, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, lemon extract, vanilla extract, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
We’ll combine the eggs, honey, lemon extract and vanilla extract in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Next, we’ll add in the lemon juice and whisk it though. The final step is to add in the dry ingredients and mix until combined ending with the lemon zest.
Once the batter is done you’ll notice that it is slightly frothy. This is normal as the baking soda reacts with the lemon juice.
Pour the batter into a tin greased with coconut oil and (optional) lined with parchment paper, and set it into the preheated oven to bake.
The cake is done when it pulls away from the sides and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Sweet and tangy, this cake goes great with fresh fruit.
