Time 2h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
½ cup fresh lemon juice
3 egg whites
1 teaspoon lemon extract
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
¼ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
3 tablespoons honey
1 ½ cups coconut flour
2 tablespoons almond flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine lemon juice, egg whites, lemon extract, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat until thick and fluffy. Beat in applesauce, coconut oil, and honey.
  • Mix coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Turn on mixer; add coconut flour mixture gradually until batter is just combined.
  • Scrape batter into the prepared baking pan; press gently with your palm to spread it evenly in the pan. Sprinkle lemon zest evenly on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 50 minutes. Cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. Invert onto a rack to continue cooling, about 30 minutes. Slice into 12 bars.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover coconut milk. I always have a can or two in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.
