Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Almond Cake Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup or honey, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth and frothy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently fold in the almond flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top with a spatula, and gently tap the pan to release any air bubbles.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then loosen the edges with a knife before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh berries or whipped cream if desired.
