Low-carb lemon cake without flour and sugar: the ingredients
1 organic lemon
5 eggs
120 g xylitol
80 g of whipped cream
250 g ground almonds
Why you should use organic lemons in baking
With organic food you can be sure that no synthetic chemical pesticides have been used.
The treatment of the skin with preservatives and wax is also prohibited for organic fruits.
This is particularly important for citrus fruits, the peel of which you use when baking and therefore want to eat.
How to bake the lemon cake recipe without flour and sugar
Grate the zest of the lemon and squeeze out the juice.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C top/bottom heat.
Line a springform pan (20 cm) with baking paper and grease the edge.
Separate the eggs.
Do you already know the bottle trick?
This makes it easy to separate eggs.
Beat the yolks with the xylitol until light and creamy.
Stir in the lemon juice, zest and cream.
Coarsely fold in the ground almonds.
Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the batter as well.
Pour the batter into the springform pan.
Bake the lemon cake in the hot oven for about 45 minutes.
Halfway through the time, cover the mold with aluminum foil to keep the surface from getting too dark.
Then just let it cool down and you can feast on cake without a guilty conscience!
A slice of this
low-carb lemon
cake is only about 186 calories.
If you like, you can decorate the cake with a layer of melted dark chocolate.
Enjoy your meal!
