Description
A light and refreshing keto yogurt cake made with Greek yogurt, lemon zest, and almond flour. This delicious, moist cake is topped with a zesty lemon glaze, perfect for anyone following a low-carb or keto lifestyle.
Ingredients
1 cup Greek yogurt
3 large eggs
1/3 cup butter (melted)
2 lemons (zest and juice)
2 cups almond flour
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1/2 cup erythritol (granulated)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
1/2 cup erythritol (powdered)
2 tablespoons hot water
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 5×9 inch loaf pan with parchment paper and grease it lightly. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, melted butter, eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
- Add almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, and baking powder to the wet ingredients. Mix until the batter is well-mixed and cohesive.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth it out with a spoon or spatula. Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then turn it out onto a cake rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, combine powdered erythritol, hot water, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cake. If the glaze is too thin, add more erythritol to thicken.
- Let the glaze set for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
- Set out eggs, yogurt, and butter about 30 minutes before baking for smoother mixing.
- Adjust glaze consistency by adding hot water slowly and adding more erythritol if too thin.
- Allow cake to cool for 20 minutes before turning it out to prevent breakage.
