Intense lemon cake
Pure coconut flour and plenty of lemon juice, baked as a loaf cake.
Ingredients
- 112 g (4 oz) coconut flour
- 140 g (5 oz) sugar — coconut flour soaks up the sweetness well; no added sugar: 200 g erythritol
- 1 tsp baking powder (5 g)
- ½ tsp salt (3 g)
- 6 eggs (300 g / 10½ oz)
- 109 g (3¾ oz) melted coconut oil
- 120 ml (½ cup) coconut milk
- 2 lemons, zest and juice (80 g / 2¾ oz)
In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F), then grease and line a loaf pan — this recipe yields less batter than a regular cake.
- In a bowl, combine the coconut flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
