Description

Imagine a lemon drizzle cake, reborn for a lighter palate. This cake boasts a tender, airy crumb that practically melts in your mouth, a delightful counterpoint to the subtle, satisfying crunch of the lemon-infused topping. The secret to its delicate texture lies in the use of finely ground almonds, which create a naturally moist and fluffy base, far removed from the dryness sometimes associated with alternative baking.

From the first enticing aroma to the final lingering taste, this cake is a symphony of citrusy delight. The bright, zesty lemon flavor permeates every layer, awakening your senses and leaving you feeling refreshed. The sweetness is carefully balanced, allowing the lemon's tartness to shine through without being overpowering.

The topping, with its delicate crispness, adds a playful textural element that elevates the entire experience. Preparing the batter is a breeze. A simple blend in a food processor ensures a smooth and even consistency, resulting in a cake that rises beautifully and bakes to a golden perfection.

The almond flour lends a subtle nutty undertone that complements the lemon perfectly, adding depth and complexity to the overall flavor profile. Whether you're seeking a guilt-free indulgence or simply a delicious treat to brighten your day, this lemon almond cake is sure to please. It's the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea or coffee, or enjoyed on its own as a light and refreshing dessert.

This cake offers a delightful twist on a beloved classic, making it a welcome addition to any gathering or a special treat for yourself.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 340 degrees Fahrenheit and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
    2.
    Add the ground almonds to a large mixing bowl with the baking soda and salt. Stir to combine.
    3.
    Bring the butter to room temperature to ensure it is soft and add to a mixing bowl with 5 tablespoons of xylitol.
    4.
    Cream the butter and xylitol together to a smooth paste and add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat together well to combine until smooth (you can do this by hand or in a mixer).
    5.
    Add the dried ingredients to a food processor along with the wet ingredients, the almond milk, half the lemon juice and all of the zest. Blend on low to create a smooth cake batter.
    6.
    Pour the batter into the lined cake tin and smooth over so that the top is level.
    7.
    Transfer to the oven to bake for 40-45 minutes until cooked through by testing the center with a tooth pick this should come out clean.
    8.
    Leaving the cake in its tin, add cup of xylitol and the rest of the lemon juice to a small bowl and mix to combine.
    9.
    Use a skewer to pierce multiple wholes across the top of the cake, about halfway down into the sponge. Pour the lemon and xylitol mixture over the top of the warm cake.
    10.
    Scatter the cake with sliced almonds and remove from the tin to cool completely before serving.
