Moist, tender, naturally sweetened, and deliciously lemony.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 large eggs
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1–2 lemons (zest of 1 lemon + 2–3 tbsp lemon juice)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda (optional but helps rise)
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (optional for extra moisture)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 8×4-inch loaf pan or small round cake pan with parchment paper.
- Mix the wet ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
Eggs
Greek yogurt
Honey or maple syrup
Lemon zest
Lemon juice
Olive oil/butter (if using)
Vanilla extract
Whisk until smooth.
- Mix the dry ingredients
In another bowl, combine:
Almond flour
Baking powder
Baking soda
Salt
Stir well to break up any lumps.
- Combine
Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir until fully combined.
The batter will be slightly thick—this is normal for almond flour cakes.
- Bake
Pour into your prepared pan.
Bake 32–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
