📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan with almond flour, or line with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  3. 3
    Add the erythritol and allulose (if using) and continue to beat until well combined and fluffy.
  4. 4
    Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice.
  5. 5
    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. 6
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. 7
    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. 8
    Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  9. 9
    Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. 10
    While the loaf cools, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered erythritol, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, and melted butter (if using) until smooth. Add more lemon juice a teaspoon at a time if a thinner consistency is desired.
  11. 11
    Once the loaf is completely cool, drizzle the glaze generously over the top. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

💡 Notes

For best results, use room temperature eggs, butter, and cream cheese. This helps create a smoother batter and a more even texture. If your loaf browns too quickly, tent it with foil. Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
