Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ cup honey
• 2 teaspoons lemon extract
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• cooking spray
• ½ teaspoon sea salt

• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose baking flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

Sift gluten-free baking flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt together in a bowl until well combined.

Step 3

Combine honey, almond milk, Greek yogurt, egg whites, lemon juice, coconut oil, and lemon extract in a large bowl. Stir to combine until no lumps remain. Gently stir in the flour mixture until batter is just combined.

Step 4

Pour batter into the prepared cake pan. Scatter raspberries over batter, gently pressing so they stay in place.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool cake in the pan, about 20 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate. Sprinkle lemon zest on top.
