Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups almond flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
8 oz cream cheese, softened
¾ cup erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
3 large eggs
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and erythritol together until creamy and smooth.
Add the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain the loaf's texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
