Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1½ cups almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease an 8-inch round cake pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, honey or maple syrup, eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent.
- Fold wet and dry ingredients: Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or top with fresh berries before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the brightest flavor.
- Honey and maple syrup can be used interchangeably as natural sweeteners.
- Make sure almond flour is finely ground for the best texture.
- Do not overmix batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- If you want a sweeter crust, dust with powdered sugar or add a lemon glaze once cooled.
- This cake can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
