Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 large eggs (room temperature)
• 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp lemon zest (finely grated)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Let’s get baking! Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×4‑inch loaf pan with parchment. Let that overhang work its magic for easy lifting later.
2. Whisk It Up: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, Greek yogurt, honey/maple, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla until it’s fully combined and slightly frothy.
3. Mix in the Dry Ingredients: Stir in the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until a smooth and thick batter forms. It will look thicker than your usual cake batter, trust the process.
4. Bake It: Spread the batter in the prepared pan, smoothing out the top. Bake for 35–45 minutes until it’s golden brown and a toothpick comes out mostly clean (no wet batter, please!).
5. Cool Down: Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out to a wire rack. Cool for at least 20 more minutes before slicing for those perfect cuts.

FAQs

Can I use a different flour?
While almond flour gives a great texture, you can experiment with coconut flour, but keep in mind you’ll need less due to its absorbency!

Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can bake it a day or two in advance; just remember to store it properly to keep that moisture intact.

How do I freeze the cake?
Slice the cake first, then wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of foil. That way, it stays fresh and ready when you have a craving!
