Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 100g oat flour
- 100g sweet rice flour
- 60g almond flour
- 2g salt
Citrus Magic:
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 200g coconut sugar
Tangy Binder:
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 3 tbsp potato starch
Moisture Richness:
- ½ cup coconut cream
- ⅔ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
1️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, sweet rice flour, almond flour, and salt.
2️⃣ Infuse the Sugar – In a separate bowl, add the coconut sugar and lemon zest. Rub them together with your fingers until the sugar is fragrant and infused with citrusy goodness.
3️⃣ Make the Lemon Binder – Whisk the potato starch into the lemon juice until smooth. This helps give the cake its perfect texture.
4️⃣ Combine the Wet Ingredients – In another bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar until fully blended.
5️⃣ Bring It All Together – Pour all the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be gentle—no overmixing!
6️⃣ Bake & Enjoy – Pour the batter into a 9” pan, smooth the top, and bake at 350°F until golden and set. Let it cool before slicing (if you can wait that long!).
