Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and erythritol together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time into the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the almond milk. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the lemon zest to give the batter a fresh and aromatic flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice the cake into pieces and serve. Enjoy your delightful keto poppy seed cake!
