Ingredients
  

The Cake:

  • 2 medium-sized lemons
  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups sweetener
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

The Frosting:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 lemon juiced (use one leftover from the cake)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sweetener
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons half-and-half

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a Bundt pan well and set aside.
  • Zest both lemons with a microplane. Juice one lemon and strain the seeds and pulp.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, and sweetener until fluffy with the paddle attachment, about 1 minute.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each.
  • Add the vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest and mix to combine.
  • With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Transfer batter to the prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 55 minutes. The top should be set and golden brown. A toothpick should come out mostly clean. Do not overbake or it will be tough after cooling.
  • Let the cake cool to the touch in the Bundt pan before trying to flip out onto a plate.
  • To prepare the frosting, use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese and butter in a medium-sized bowl. Add the lemon juice and powdered sweetener and beat until mixed well. Slowly add the half-and-half and mix until a thick but smooth consistency is reached.
  • Use a plastic bag or piping bag to add the frosting to the cake. Garnish with lemon zest, if desired.
