KETO FRIENDLY LEMON BLUEBERRY CAKE

DESSERT, HOMEMADE, ORANGE COUNTY, SWEETS

Summer has finally arrived! With that, the hot weather definitely got me motivated to make something refreshing (and guilt free) that the whole family can enjoy.

LET’S GET STARTED!

Cake Ingredients:

  • Almond Flour: 2 1/2 Cups
  • Swerve Confectioner Sweetening: 1 1/3 Cup
  • Baking Powder: 1 Tsp
  • Baking Soda: 1/2 Tsp
  • Lemon Zest: From 1 Large Lemon
  • Eggs: 2
  • Milk: 9/16 Cup
  • Olive Oil: 1/4 Cup
  • Lemon Juice: 3 1/2 Tbsp
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: 1 Tbsp
  • Vanilla Extract: 2 Tsp
  • Blueberries: 3 1/2 Cup
  • Lemon: 1 Large

Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients:

  • Butter: 1 Tbsp
  • Cream Cheese: 8 Oz.
  • Salt: 1/3 Tsp

Here’s What To Do:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2: Mix together the following ingredients in a large bowl –

  • Almond Flour: 2 1/2 Cups
  • Swerve Confectioner Sweetener: 2/3 Cup
  • Baking Powder: 1 Tsp
  • Baking Soda: 1/2 Tsp
  • Lemon Zest: From 1 Large Lemon

Step 3: Once the above ingredients are evenly mixed in together, add in and whisk the following items –

  • Eggs: 2
  • Milk: 9/16 Cup
  • Olive Oil: 1/4 Cup
  • Lemon Juice: 3 1/2 Tbsp
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: 1 Tbsp
  • Vanilla Extract: 2 Tsp

Step 4: Gently fold in the following item into the cake batter –

  • Blueberries: 3 1/2 Cup

Step 5: Spray baking oil onto your 9″ glass baking dish and pour complete batter into the glass baking dish. My preference is to use a glass dish for a consistent bake throughout.

Step 6: Cook time will be 45 minutes (set timer). Place baking dish in the oven.

  • 20 minutes in and after the cake has risen a bit, carefully cover and wrap the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  • Allow cake to cook for another 15 minutes. Then, take off aluminum foil.
  • Continue to allow cake to cook in the oven for another 10 – 15 minutes or until there is no wet cake batter stuck on the toothpick when conducting the toothpick test.

Step 7: Take out cake from oven and allow it to cool.

Step 8: To make the cream cheese frosting, combine the following ingredients to a large bowl and blend with a hand mixer-

  • Butter: 1 Tbsp
  • Cream Cheese: 8 Oz.
  • Swerve Confectioner Sweetener: 2/3 Cup
  • Salt: 1/3 Tsp
  • Lemon Juice: 2 Tbsp
  • Lemon Zest

Step 9: Once cake has cooled, spread cream cheese frosting over cake. Lemon zest can be further sprinkled on top of the cake.

Step 10: If you want to serve the cake cold, place cake in the refridgerator to chill. Otherwise – Cut, serve, and enjoy!

Hope you guys enjoy this summer dessert as much as I do!
