Gooey Honey Lemon Loaf by Welleasy

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 4 large eggs, separated
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 2 tbsp lemon zest
• juice of 1 lemon
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup honey, for syrup
• juice of 1 lemon, for syrup

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
2. Whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form, then set aside.
3. Whisk the egg yolks, 1/2 cup honey, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a large bowl until smooth.
4. Fold in the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in batches, keeping as much air in the mixture as possible.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and bake on the middle shelf for 30–35 minutes, until golden and set.
7. Simmer the syrup honey and lemon juice for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened, then let it cool a little.
8. Spoon the warm syrup over the loaf as soon as it comes out of the oven so it soaks in.
