Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granular erythritol
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups superfine almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder, aluminum free

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 4 tbsp powdered erythritol, or more as needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, add butter and erythritol. Whisk until evenly combined. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition.
  • Add in lemon juice, zest and vanilla. Whisk until evenly combined.
  • Add in almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder. Whisk until evenly mixed. Your batter should be thick.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Tap the bottom of the pan a few times against your counter to settle and spread the batter evenly across the pan.
  • Bake cake in the middle of your oven for about 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Mine were done between 43-45 minutes each time. Let cake cool before drizzling with glaze.
  • To make the lemon glaze, whisk together all ingredients. If the glaze is too thin, add more powdered erythritol until it reaches your desired thickness. Drizzle over the cake.

Notes

  • Recipe slightly adapted from Sweet as Honey
  • This recipe needs a combination of almond flour and coconut flour to work. 
  • Use superfine almond flour instead of regular almond flour. I used Kirkland Signature superfine almond flour.*
  • I used So Nourished erythritol sweetener granular* and So Nourished powdered erythritol* 
  • Make sure to use aluminum free baking powder.
