Recipe

This almond flour poppy seed lemon cake is one of my best cakes ever!! Perfect because:

• No refined sugars

• No refined flours

• Dairy free

• Only wholesome ingredients

• Brings some Spring energy right at you

• It's paleo

• Super easy and super healthy

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cups (142g) of extra virgin olive oil

• 2/3 cups (115g) maple syrup (you can substitute for honey, agave syrup)

• 3 lemons zested and juiced (approx 1/3 cup (75g) of juice and 1 Tbsp (1 spoon) zest). If you have some extra lemon juice keep for the berry compote garnish!

• 3 large eggs

• 1 1/2 tsp (small spoon) of vanilla extract

• 3 1/2 cups (300g) almond flour

• 1 1/2 tsp (small spoon) baking powder

• 1 tsp (small spoon) salt

• 2 Tbsp (spoon) poppy seed

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180C (with grill and ventilated)

2. Whisk together all the wet ingredients

3. Stir the dry ingredients

4. Pour one into the other

5. Add the poppy seeds and make sure everything is well distributed

6. Line a pan on the bottom with parchment paper and grease the sides with oil so it's easier to take out

7. Pour the batter in the pan and cover with foil

8. Bake for 40 minutes with the foil on, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 to 35 minutes, or until the bread is golden-brown and tests clean.

9. Allow the cake to cool down for 20 mins.

Frosting

I used full fat greek yogurt and made a berry compote: handful of frozen berries and 1 1/2 table spoon lemon. Heat a pan on low heat, let the ingredients melt until you have a jam like substance! Let it cool down so that it gains more consistency!

Enjoy this refined sugar free olive oil almond cake!!
