Ingredients

Baking Pan for Lemon Mini Cakes

You can adapt this recipe to a different pan and adjust the baking time as needed.  If the cake pan you use has deeper wells, you’ll need to extend the baking time.

  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the almond flour, sugar substitute, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  4. Lightly grease the wells of your mini cake pan.
  5. Evenly distribute the batter into the wells, filling each well about ¾ full. If using a different type of pan, make sure to leave room for the cakes to rise.
