Today’s Healthier Dessert Recipe: Zesty Lemon Kale Cake

Hello, lovely readers! Today, I’m excited to share a unique dessert recipe that combines the earthy flavor of kale with the refreshing zing of lemon. This cake is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it a guilt-free treat for any occasion.

To make this Zesty Lemon Kale Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 100g fresh kale, chopped
  • 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
  • 150g coconut flour
  • 250ml unsweetened almond milk
  • 100ml melted coconut oil
  • 150ml agave syrup
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt

When it comes to tools, you will need:

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • spatula
  • 8-inch cake tin

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped kale, lemon zest, coconut flour, almond milk, melted coconut oil, agave syrup, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.

Grease your cake tin with a bit of coconut oil and pour the cake batter into it. Smooth out the top with a spatula and place it in the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely before removing it from the tin. Slice into servings and enjoy!

This Zesty Lemon Kale Cake weighs approximately 900g once cooked and serves 8. Each serving is around 113g, with an estimated calorie count of 240 per slice.

A unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some additional lemon zest on top of the cake before serving. This will enhance the citrus flavor and add a pop of color to the dish.

I hope you give this Zesty Lemon Kale Cake a try and make it your own by adding your favorite toppings or serving it with a dollop of coconut whipped cream. Have fun experimenting in the kitchen!
