Baking is one of my favorite hobbies. After,,and home baked onesI'm craving something fruity and fresh. And what could be better than a light cake recipe with lemons!
I'll tell you a delicious recipe for lemon cake without flour. Quickly made, low carb and a real pleasure fork after fork.
Lemon cake without flour: simple recipe
I don't know about you, but lemon cake ranks high on my favorite cake list. It just tastes so wonderfully fresh and is beautifully juicy.
As a secret ingredient for even more fruitiness, I added a handful of currants to the dough. They harmonize wonderfully with the citrus taste and the almond aroma.
My recipe does not contain flour and is therefore perfect for anyone who is “low carb”, i.e. reducing carbohydrates in their diet.
For the lemon cake without flour you need:
- 4 eggs (size M, room temperature)
- 4 tbsp sugar
- small pinch of salt
- 90 g Butter
- 220 g ground almonds
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 2 organic lemons
- 1 handful of currants
- 1 handful of flaked almonds
To garnish:
- a few bunches of currants
- some powdered sugar
Here's how:
Wash the currants, pat dry and remove the stems. Wash organic lemons with hot water and squeeze the juice of two lemons into a measuring cup. Using a small grater, grate the zest of a lemon. Caution: Do not grate too much, as the white of the peel tastes bitter.
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees top/bottom heat and grease a springform pan. Mix ground almonds with baking powder.
Melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan or covered in a bowl in the microwave on low power. Allow to cool briefly so that the butter is liquid but no longer hot.
Separate the eggs and stir the egg yolks together with the sugar in a bowl until the mixture is light and creamy. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. Attention: No fat or egg yolk should get into the egg white, otherwise the egg whites will not set.
Stir the liquid butter into the egg yolk mixture together with the lemon juice and the organic lemon zest, then briefly stir in the almond-baking powder mixture and add the currants. As the last step before baking, carefully fold in the snow. The dough for the lemon cake without flour should be nice and fluffy.
Now pour the dough into the cake pan. If you like, you can sprinkle a handful of flaked almonds on top. They look pretty and support the almond aroma.
Bake the cake at 175 degrees top/bottom heat for 35 minutes. After the baking time, use a chopstick to check whether the cake is baked through. After cooling, remove from the mold. Garnish with fresh currants and sprinkle with powdered sugar. So delicious!
