Paleo Lemon Pound Cake

Dry Ingredients
1 1/2 cups almond flour
3 tbs coconut flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Zest from 2 lemons

Wet Ingredients
2 lemons, squeezed – about 1/3 cup of lemon juice
2 tsp pure vanilla
3 eggs, whisked
1/3 cup coconut milk
1/3 cup raw honey
2 tbs melted coconut oil

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients, including lemon zest. In a separate medium bowl, combine all wet ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and stir to combine. Allow batter to set for a few minutes, and then stir again.

Lightly grease a bread pan with coconut oil. Line bottom of the pan with a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking, cut paper to fit, then pour the batter into the pan.

Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes out clean (Note: cooking times and oven temperatures may vary – don’t skip the toothpick test!)

Remove from the oven and allow to completely cool before removing from the pan.

Slice and serve – top with fresh fruit and coconut whipped cream, if desired.

Keep refrigerated and covered between servings.

Be Well,
