Gluten-Free Lemon Cake - Keto, Low-carb, THM-S

The first time I made this cake it was deep in the middle of winter and it was so delightful to taste a burst of lemon in this cake! It brought some sunshine right into the kitchen!

Tips and tricks for making Gluten-Free Lemon Cake:

  • I used 9″ round cake pans for this cake. If you want the cake to be a little taller you may want to use 8″ pans.
  • You could easily switch this recipe to cupcakes and bake them around 20-25 minutes.
  • If you do not need it to be dairy free, use your favorite frosting recipe and add in the lemon extract.
  • The frosting calls for your sweetener to be powdered. You can easily do this by putting your sweetener in a blender or coffee grinder and blend until powdered.
  • The palm shortening that I use is Spectrum Organic Shortening. You may be able to find it cheaper at your local grocery store.

    Is the coconut milk in this recipe canned or carton? My birthday is coming up, and I’m scouting out THM appropriate cakes. This one definitely looks like a contender! 😀

    could this be made using coconut oil instead of the palm oil?

      Hi Loni, the palm shortening has a different texture than coconut oil, so I don’t think it would work out very well, but you could try a smaller batch of it and see how it works. The palm shortening has much more body to it and doesn’t liquify as easily as coconut oil does. If you do try it, be sure to let me know how it works.

      It is palm shortening. It is different than coconut oil. It is similar to vegetable shortening or Crisco, but is made only from palm.

      I don’t have the exact carb count for this, but it is low-carb.
