Flourless Meyer Lemon Almond Loaf Cake Recipe

This cake is tender, lemon-y, and light (due to the whipped egg whites). If you don’t have any almond flour on hand, you can always use your food processor to make some, but I like having a bag kicking around in my pantry. Almond flour is great for the obvious (macaron) and the not so obvious (almond chicken fingers). I get the feeling that people think that almond flour is a specialty sort of ingredient – mostly for gluten-free baked goods – but the truth is, I really like baked goods made with almond flour. It lends a moistness and chewy texture that I’m really in to.

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• zest from 2 meyer lemons
• 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons sugar
• 3/4 cup almond flour/ground almonds
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 tsp cardamom
• pinch of salt
• thyme sprigs, lemon slices and powdered sugar, to serve
