When life gives you lemons make Lemon Cake!! For this recipe I was inspired by my sisters love of Lemon drizzle cake. I wanted to create something healthy and sweet with still tasting tang and sourness that the amazing lemon offers! The ingredients are simply almond flour, coconut flour, coconut oil, eggs, sugar, and lemon zest.

I’ve included a little baking powder and bicarbonate of soda to help the cake maintain a bit more structure as it cools. The result is a light and tender crumb, softly sweet, sour and lemony. I hope you enjoy!
