Description

This Sugar Free Lemon Drizzle Cake is a delicious and diabetic-friendly dessert that combines the freshness of lemon with a moist, cake-like texture, perfect for those looking for a guilt-free treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 120 g xylitol
  • plus 60g for the drizzle
  • 150 g Greek yoghurt
  • 250 g almond flour
  • 50 g oat flour
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 large lemon
  • zest & juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a suitable cake tin.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and 120 g of xylitol until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the Greek yoghurt, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the egg mixture and mix until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, combine the almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, and bicarbonate of soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until there are no lumps.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and level the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  8. While the cake is baking, prepare the drizzle by mixing the remaining 60 g of xylitol with a bit of lemon juice until it reaches a syrupy consistency.
  9. Once the cake is done, let it cool for a few minutes, then drizzle the syrup over the top.

Notes

Ensure that the cake cools slightly before adding the drizzle to prevent it from soaking in too quickly. This cake is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
