Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Erythritol sweetener
- 120 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 units Eggs, large
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 50 grams Powdered erythritol sweetener (for the drizzle)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (for the drizzle)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf tin with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the erythritol and softened butter together until creamy and pale.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the heavy cream, and mixing until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the drizzle, mix together the powdered erythritol and lemon juice until smooth and slightly runny.
Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the lemon mixture over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Let the drizzle set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
