Description

This cake is a delightful blend of zesty lemon and nutty poppy seeds.


Ingredients

🌿 3 cups almond flour
🌿 1 cup granulated sweetener of choice
🌿 3 teaspoons baking powder
🌿 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
🌿 ¼ teaspoon salt
🌿 ½ cup avocado oil or ½ cup pureed avocado
🌿 4 eggs
🌿 ⅔ cup yogurt or sour cream
🌿 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
🌿 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
🌿 1-2 teaspoons lemon extract
🌿 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice (for glaze)
🌿 ½ cup sugar-free powdered sweetener
🌿 Poppy seeds (optional)


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a nonstick cake pan with butter or spray with baking spray. Whisk together almond flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, poppy seeds, and salt. Tip: Sift the almond flour for a fluffier cake. Mix together avocado oil or pureed avocado, eggs, yogurt or sour cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon extract. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix. The flavor of lemons and lemon extracts varies, so check the sweetness level of the batter. Pour into well-buttered or greased bundt pan and bake for 40-55 minutes until a knife or toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before flipping. For the glaze, add lemon juice to powdered sweetener and mix until desired sweetness and consistency is attained. Add a dash of poppy seeds to the glaze, if desired. Drizzle glaze onto cake. Top with raspberries, blueberries, or sliced strawberries (optional).
