Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour

• 0.75 cups Granulated monk fruit sweetener
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 4 pieces Eggs, large
• 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cups Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest, finely grated
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated monk fruit sweetener. Mix well until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a thick and smooth batter forms.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.

Step 8

Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, serve as is or top with a light lemon glaze made from powdered monk fruit sweetener and lemon juice for extra flavor.
