Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • I used a 9x5 loaf pan, but you can also use a bundt pan. Grease the pan with butter or cooking oil. I used butter.
  • Add the butter, cream cheese, and Confectioner's sweetener to a mixing bowl. Mix with a hand mixer or standing mixer until the butter and sugar is smooth.
  • Add the eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon extract. Mix.
  • Combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix.
  • Pour the batter into the greased pan.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes. Use a toothpick to gauge when it has finished baking. Insert a toothpick into the very middle. Test if the toothpick comes out clean.
  • Remove the loaf pan from the oven and place it on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
  • Use a cake spatula to dig into the sides and edges of the cake to loosen. Flip the cake over and remove the loaf pan. Cool for an additional 10 minutes on a cooling rack.

Notes

Recipe Tips:

  1. Remove the wet ingredients (eggs, cream cheese, sour cream, and butter) from the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature.
  2. While using a mixer, beat at medium speed.
  3. Do not overbeat the batter. Over mixing will lead to crumbles in the cake.
  4. If you use a bundt pan for this recipe, sizing will vary.
  5. Place the cake in the center of the oven. Keep the door closed. Limit your check-ins, when you do check in, open and close the oven door gently, to avoid a loss of heat and/or the cake falling.
Homemade Whipped Cream 
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon sweetener
Add the whipping cream to a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer and mix for 2 minutes. Add in the sweetener. Mix until whipped cream forms.

3/4 cup Confectioner's sweetener
