Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, add eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, honey, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
Stir in the poppy seeds gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy your Whole30 Lemon Loaf Cake as a delightful and compliant treat!
