Ingredients
- 125 grams butter melted
- 5 eggs large
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 125 mls coconut cream
- 240 grams almond flour/almond meal
- 30 grams coconut flour (1/4 cup)
- ½ cup desiccated coconut
- ½ cup Erythritol or preferred sweetener
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Lemon Drizzle Topping
- Juice of half a lemon
- 3-4 tablespoons powdered sweetener of choice
- Optional - decorate with lemon zest and/or lemon slices
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 170 C/ 350 F. Line a loaf pan with quality baking paper.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave until the butter is soft and runny but not bubbling. Set butter aside and allow to cool for a few minutes. Meanwhile beat the eggs in a large bowl with electric beaters until light and frothy. Add the butter, lemon juice, zest, vanilla extract and coconut cream and whisk until combined.
- Place the almond flour, coconut flour, dessicated coconut and baking powder in a clean bowl and stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat again with the electric beaters to mix well.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared cake tin and level with a spatula.
- Bake in the oven for about 45 - 50 minutes until golden and cooked in the centre. You should be able to insert a skewer into the cake and pull it out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the tin.
Optional Glaze
- Combine the lemon juice and the powdered sweetener in a small bowl and mix until smooth. Pour the glaze over the warm cake for it to absorb or leave it until the cake cools for a thicker more obvious glaze.
