Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cup high quality all purpose gluten-free flour
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 lemons
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar
  • cup plain Greek yogurt room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons organic butter room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 large egg whites room temperature
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • ½ cup reduced fat organic milk
  • For the glaze:
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • ¼ freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
  • Stir flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Zest the 2 lemons and place lemon zest in a bowl. Put the lemons to the side. Add sucanat, Greek yogurt, butter in with the zest with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in one egg white at a time, then add whole egg. Continue to beat. Reduce speed to medium and beat in the milk and lemon juice.
  • Reduce the mixer to low and add in the flour mixture, only beating until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Bake the cake until toothpick comes out clean when placed in the center, about 50 minutes. Let the cake cool for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the sides of cake and let cool on wire rack.
  • While cooling, place sucanat and lemon juice for the glaze in a small saucepan and place on the stove. Cook for 1-2 minutes until it becomes thick while stirring constantly. *Note: The glaze will NOT be white because sucanat is not white. The glaze is a brownish color that you really can not see when placed on the cake.
  • Poke small holes in the top of the cake. Place a baking tray underneath the wire rack to avoid a mess. Pour glaze on top of cake making sure it gets into all of the poked holes. Let the cake cool completely before slicing.

Notes

To store: Place in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
To store in the freezer: Place in airtight container for up to 3 months. I like to slice them before hand to make it easier.
