Tips for Baking a Perfect Sugar-Free Lemon Cake:

  • Use fresh lemons: Freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor for the cake. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Cream the butter and sweetener together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This sugar-free lemon cake is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with simple ingredients and is easy to make. The cake is light and fluffy, with a bright lemon flavor. The frosting is creamy and tangy, and it perfectly complements the cake. Whether you are looking for a healthy dessert option or simply want to enjoy a delicious lemon cake, this recipe is sure to please.
