This cake is a colorful beauty! I've made it as the recipe states and also made it with almond flour and toasted sliced almonds on top instead of hazelnut and it turned out great too.

For the cake: Zest and juice two of the lemons, set aside. Combine the lemon zest, cane sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl combine the coconut oil, coconut milk, lemon juice and vanilla, then combine with the first bowl. Whisk in both of the flours and the coconut. Pour into a lined cake pan. Bake 45 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool then transfer to a cake plate or stand. For the icing: Juice the remaining lemon. In a small bowl slowly whisk the juice of one lemon with the confectioner's sugar. Pour the icing over the cooled cake. Decorate with berries or other fruits plus toasted nuts of your choosing.
