28 Oct Lemon-Yogurt Cake
I’ve adapted this recipe from Teresa Cutter – The Healthy Chef – check out her website here.
This recipe is gluten and grain free using honey as the sweenter!
The recipe incorporates almond meal, which is loaded with protein + good anti-inflamatory fats that help promote health. Eggs are also a great source of protein that can promote a healthy immune system. The addition of lemon + yoghurt gives this cake a wonderful flavour and helps to activate the bicarb, that makes them rise.
Ingredients
- 250g almond meal
- 2 heaped tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda – bi carb soda
- 2 free range or organic eggs
- juice and zest from 1 lemon
- ½ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
- 50g coconut oil
- ¼ cup thick natural or Greek style yoghurt
Method
- Preheat your oven to 160 C.
- Combine almond meal, coconut flour and baking soda.
- Add eggs, lemon juice and zest, honey, vanilla, oil and yoghurt. Mix well.
(The lemon juice makes the baking soda bubble, helping to make a nice airy moist cake!)
- Spoon into your preferred cake dish (I used a shallow baking dish so it came out more like a tea cake or slice)
- Bake for 35-40 mins (depending on your oven) – you may need to cover with foil half way through to prevent it from burning on top.
