Lemon Custard Cake Recipe

This Lemon Custard Cake Recipe is an easy gluten free dessert that comes together like magic.

I’ve adapted the recipe from one I found for a lemon custard magic cake, changing up the flour to be gluten free and incorporating a combination of cream and milk, rather than just cream. (Here’s the original recipe.)

The resulting cake is beautifully moist, creamy and full of lovely lemon flavor that’s perfect for special occasions like Mother’s Day.

How To Make A Keto Lemon Cake

Melting butter milk and cream together

To make this cake is really easy, start by melting together the milk/almond milk, cream and butter, then set it aside to cool while you see to your eggs.

Whisked Egg Whites

Separate the eggs into two large bowls, whisking the whites to soft peaks in one bowl and then whisk egg yolks until thickened in the other large bowl.

You can do this in a large mixing bowl with hand beaters, a stand mixer, bowl of an electric mixer, or use a food processor to create creamy desserts.

Adding in lemon for low carb keto lemon cake

Add stevia or your sugar/sweetener of choice into the yolks and then whisk in the lemon zest and lemon juice. You can use regular lemons, meyer lemons or any other lemon variety you can find at your local grocery store or lemon tree.

Pour over the cooled melted butter mixture and whisk until combined.

Whisking in coconut flour

Then, whisk in the coconut flour. Only 3 tablespoons is needed to bind the cake together.

Folding ingredients together for a lemon custard cake recipe

Fold the whipped egg whites into the batter with a rubber spatula, a third at a time until fully incorporated, then pour batter into a baking tin that’s lined with well greased baking parchment paper and bake until golden and cooked through.

Allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature in the baking dish before removing and slicing into squares. You can decorate the cake with candied lemon slices or dust powdered sugar over the top of the cake for an extra sweet finish.

If you’re a fan of lemon treats then you’ll adore these magic custard cakes that combine together fresh lemon zest and creamy custard in a dessert that will be irresistible to lemon lovers.
