This method delivers a “melt-in-your-mouth” texture with that iconic “wow” lemon zing.
Ingredients
• The Flourless Base: 3 large Eggs (the “magic” binder that creates a fluffy, “cloud-like” lift).
• The “Zero” Sweetener: ½ cup Monk Fruit or Stevia (keeping it 100% sugar-free).
• The Zest: 2 large Lemons (you will use both the juice and the zest for that professional, “bakery-perfect” aroma).
• Optional “Wow” Topping: 4 oz softened Cream Cheese mixed with a splash of lemon juice and extra sweetener to recreate that beautiful frosting seen in your picture.
Preparation Steps
1. The Separation: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. This is the “secret” to achieving that professional, airy height without any flour.
2. The Whip: In a large glass bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, whisk the yolks with your sweetener, lemon juice, and zest until the mixture is “velvety” and pale.
3. The Gentle Fold: Slowly fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture. Do this gently to keep the “miracle” air bubbles intact!
4. The Vessel: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, exactly like the one shown in your artistic photo.
5. The Bake: Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 25–30 minutes until the cake is set and a beautiful, rustic golden color.
6. The Reveal: Once cooled, spread your sugar-free lemon cream cheese frosting over the top in professional swirls, just like the “wow” presentation in your photo.
