Gingerbread Cake With Lemon Sauce
Ingredients
Cake
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup oat fiber
- 1 ounce Paleo Pro protein powder unflavored
- ⅔ cup brown sugar substitute
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons psyllium fiber
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- ⅔ cup light flavored oil
- ⅓ cup water
- 2 teaspoons molasses optional
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Lemon Sauce
- ⅓ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup light tasting olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest about one lemon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 drops liquid sweetener or more to taste
- 3 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease a 9” square baking pan.
- In a large bowl mix together the almond flour, oat fiber, protein powder, sugar substitute, coconut flour, psyllium fiber, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and salt.
- When well combined, measure in the eggs, oil, water, molasses (if using), and extract. Use a rubber spatula to mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients to form a batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until the center is just set.
- While the cake bakes, make the lemon sauce by combining all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth and until the oils emulsify, at least one full minute.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to four days. If the sauce separates, stir again just before serving.
- Let the cake cool slightly before topping with the lemon sauce. Serve warm.
- Refrigerate any leftovers for up to five days.
