Start to Finish: 1 hour

Ingredients:

2 eggs
3 tbsp. Bulletproof Collagen Protein powder
1 3/4 cups almond flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3 tbsp. tapioca flour
Zest and juice of 2 lemons (just under 1/2 cup lemon juice)
3 tbsp. Bulletproof Grass-Fed Ghee or melted butter
1/3 cup maple syrup

Coconut Lemon Drizzle Icing

1-1.5 tbsp. powdered sweetener
2 tbsp. coconut butter
2 tbsp. Bulletproof Brain Octane C8 MCT Oil
Juice of 3/4 to 1 lemon

Garnish

Lemon zest

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Grease and line a rectangular slice tin with baking paper. (I used a cake tray with these dimensions: 7.5 inch x 11 inches.)
Add all ingredients into a blender and combine until smooth.
Pour into the prepared cake tin.
Place into the oven and bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before icing.
Add all the Coconut Lemon Drizzle Icing ingredients into a small saucepan. Melt on low until combined. Stir until completely smooth. Add more lemon juice to taste, if desired.
Place the lemon cake onto a rectangular plate or tray. Begin to drizzle the icing over the top of cake with a spoon.
Garnish with extra lemon zest. Slice and enjoy, or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
