Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
½ cup fresh lemon juice
3 egg whites
1 teaspoon lemon extract
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
¼ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
3 tablespoons honey
1 ½ cups coconut flour
2 tablespoons almond flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter. Other than that, the cake was delicious. The lemon glaze is especially good.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. The coconut and lemon flavors are perfectly balanced. I think next time I'll reduce the amount of sweetener.

I love the idea of a paleo coconut lemon cake, but I was disappointed with the results. The cake was dry and the lemon flavor was too subtle. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
