This Flourless Almond and Lemon Cake is one seriously tasty cake! So easy to make and it is perfect to serve your guests.
This Flourless Almond and Lemon Cake is my adaptation of a recipe I found over at Simply Recipes.
The original version used white sugar, which I changed to coconut sugar and I simplified the process a little.
It is so easy to make as well!
Just mix up the following ingredients in a large size bowl:
- Eggs
- Lemon zest
- Coconut sugar
- Vanilla extract
The you mix together the following ingredients in another bowl
- Almond meal
- Baking powder
- Cardamon
Then add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing well and then pour into a lined baking pan and bake in the oven
Super simple right!!
Best of all it is gluten, dairy and refined sugar free.
If you like to bake then you need to also make my chocolate chip cookies and my chocolate banana bread.
Enjoy

I just made the flourless almond and lemon cake. Delicious! It's always so hard to find a dessert recipe which my sister and dad can enjoy as they cannot have gluten, fructose or dairy. This one ticks all the boxes! Thank you!
