Light and fresh, but still a satisfying treat, nothing beats a lemon cake. This version uses regular flour, (you can use gluten-free flour instead), and has the delicious lemon glaze on top. Perfect for tea time or anytime.

Instructions

1. Prepare the oven and pan 
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. 

2. Mix the dry ingredients 
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. 

3. Combine the wet ingredients 
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, oil, eggs, Lakanto Cane Sugar & Monk Fruit Sweetener, and Lakanto Allulose & Monk Fruit Sweetener until smooth. 

4. Add flavorings 
Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. 

5. Bring the batter together 
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix. 

6. Transfer to pan 
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. 

7. Bake 
Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 

8. Cool 
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. 

9. Make the glaze 
In a small bowl, whisk together the Lakanto Powdered Erythritol Sweetener, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust consistency with a little more milk if needed. 

10. Glaze and serve 
Once the loaf is fully cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. Let it set before slicing.

    I do not tolerate butter, but can have ghee or coconut oil: is it possible to switch to one of these 2 options to make this recipe? Thank you!
