Ingredients
• The Flourless Base: 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour (provides a rich, nutty foundation without the inflammatory grains).
• The “Velvety” Cream: 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (the “secret” to that incredibly moist, professional crumb).
• The Bind: 2 large Eggs.
• The Natural Sweetener: 1/3 cup Honey or Maple Syrup.
• The Zest & Zing: Juice and zest of 1 Lemon (as seen in the bright, sunny tones of your cake).
• The Flavor & Lift: 1 tsp Vanilla Extract, 1 tsp Baking Powder, and 1/4 tsp Salt.
Preparation Steps
1. The Whisk: In a large glass bowl, whisk the eggs, honey, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and “velvety.”
2. The Infusion: Stir in the fresh lemon zest to distribute those essential “magic” oils throughout the batter.
3. The Fold: Gently fold in the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined to keep the texture light and airy.
4. The Bake: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, exactly like the rustic one shown in your picture. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes until the top is a beautiful golden brown.
5. The Glaze: For that extra “wow” factor seen in your photo, whisk a little lemon juice with a spoonful of honey and brush it over the warm cake for a professional sheen.
6. Serve: Let it cool before slicing to reveal that “melt-in-your-mouth” interior!
