Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat pastry flour
• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Honey
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Low-fat yogurt
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoons Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan lightly with butter.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter using an electric mixer on medium speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Gradually add the honey to the butter, continuing to beat until well combined and fluffy.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.

Step 6

Stir in the yogurt, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until all the wet ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the loaf cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve slices of the loaf cake on its own or with a light dusting of powdered sugar for a subtle sweetness.
