• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with coconut oil or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until frothy. This will take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the beaten eggs. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Slowly incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring with a spatula or spoon until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the pound cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Once completely cooled, slice and serve your Paleo Gluten-Free Pound Cake. Enjoy!
