Step 1

Preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F.

Step 2

While the oven is pre-heating, line your 9" cake round pan with a parchment paper.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine your wet ingredients: eggs, honey, sugar, olive oil, yogurt, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir with care, whisking until the batter becomes smooth and lump-free.

Step 4

Gently sift in the dry ingredients - almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Be mindful not to overmix. You just want to fold the ingredients until there are no lumps left.

Step 5

Pour your batter into the prepped cake pan, making sure it's spread evenly.

Step 6

Place your cake pan on the middle rack in the oven, letting it bake for 30-34 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted emerges clean.

Step 7

Let the cake rest for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack, to finish cooling.

Step 8

Decorate your cake with frosting, whipped cream, berries, or powdered sugar, before cutting yourself a slice to enjoy. :)
