Ingredients

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt
  • 4 large eggs (room temp)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (approx 1 lemon)
  • zest from one lemon
  • 1/2 tsp lemon extract
  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F and grease a 9x9 tin with coconut oil and set aside. If preferred, you can line the bottom of the tin of parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, combine the eggs, honey, lemon juice, lemon extract, and vanilla extract until fully blended and smooth.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  • Add in the lemon zest and mix to evenly disperse throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the greased tin and bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the edges pull away from the sides of the tin and a toothpick inserted  in the middle comes out clean.
  • Allow cake to cool for 10-15 minutes before attempting to remove it from the tin or cut into it.
