Lemon Poppy Seed Cake
What to Do —
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F
  2. Start by spraying a 9 × 5-inch loaf pan with olive oil and line it with parchment paper. (or use Bundt Cake mold)
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and baking soda.
  4. Next, combine the eggs, Swerve, avocado oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, coconut milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Then, whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined.
  5. Then, you’ll want to fold in the poppy seeds and transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
  7. Finally, let your cake cool for a few minutes before running a knife around the edge of the pan to help remove the loaf. Serve while still warm, or at room temperature.

My Story and inspiration for this blog

Cream of Mushroom Soup
