Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 0.5 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup granular erythritol
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, melted butter, beaten eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and granular erythritol until smooth and well blended.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice into squares and enjoy your sugar-free lemon cake slices.
