Ingredients
  

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups almond flour or almond meal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamon
  • Flaked almonds for decorating

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven. Pre-heat the oven to 175 C | 350 F.
  • Prepare cake batter. Whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, coconut sugar and vanilla extract in a medium to large sized bowl. Next, whisk together the almond meal, baking powder and cardamon in a large bowl. Then add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until combined.
  • Bake cake. Pour the mixture into a greased and line square baking pan and decorate with the flaked almonds. Place into the oven for 35 minutes to cook or until an inserted skewer withdraws clean.
  • Serve. Allow to cool slightly in the baking pan before slicing. Serve warm or cold.

Notes

  • This recipe works best if you use room temperature eggs. The mixture will mix more evenly and you will get more volume.
  • You can store this cake in your fridge for up to 5 days or in your freezer for 3 months when stored in an air-tight container.
