Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated erythritol together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the sour cream, almond milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Bake the Pound Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Prepare the Lemon Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered erythritol and lemon juice until smooth. If desired, stir in the lemon zest for extra flavor.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pound cake.
- Serve:
- Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
