TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
BEST way to wake up on a Monday morning!!!!!! I’m so very proud!
Phone Client Testimony:“Hi Maria…Thought it was time to send a picture to show you my progress. I have been on my journey now for 4 years (3 years ago was our first consultation) and without your help I don’t think I would be standing in front of a mirror taking the after picture. (For a many years I did not have a full length mirror).
You have taught me a whole new way of eating and you inspire me daily…thank you Maria for sharing your knowledge with so many. I am hoping to be at my goal by spring….I hope someday I can share my numbers, but not quite there yet. Thanks again Maria for all your support!”

STARBUCKS LEMON LOAF
I once adored going to Starbucks for Lemon Loaf (which is a huge hit in my book Keto Restaurant Favorites). But when Craig lost his job, and we couldn’t afford to go out to eat, I started cooking our favorite restaurant meals at home! Not only was it a great way to save money, but we both lost a lot of weight eating healthier versions at home!

Happy Baking!
When making baked goods, normally when using sugar the chemical reaction of beating sugar and butter together creates a lot of air. Since erythritol is different in chemical structure than sugar, the butter should be beaten on its own until light and fluffy and then add the erythritol and continue to beat. The best secret to success when baking with erythritol is to cream your initial mixture.

Starbucks Lemon Loaf was one of my favorites…can’t wait to make this! Maria can you share your thoughts on Arrowroot Powder? I’ve been seeing it in some recipes but don’t know much about it. Thanks 🙂
Thanks! Sorry, arrowroot has too many carbs for me. 🙂
Perfect! A chocolate free recipe for my birthday dinner tonight!!
Happy Birthday!
Wow, great ratios. I just received a large order coconut oil ,yesterday. I just might try this today or tomorrow. Trying to stay very keto. is such a challenge w/o you and your blog. Bless you , Maria !!!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for posting this recipe, Maria! Can’t wait to try it!!!
Any thoughts on how to use stevia glycerite in this recipe instead of Swerve? Hubby cannot tolerate any other sweetener except the stevia glycerite, and I need to know if I have to add anything to replace the volume that the Swerve was taking up.
You can try 1-2 tsp of stevia glycerite to taste. 😉
and completely forego the erythritol?
Yes.
Could I use something other than almond flour? Protein powder maybe? This used to be an old favorite so I would love to try it if I could. You’re the best!
Protein powder wouldn’t work, sorry.
In the past, I’ve replaced almond flour with sunflower seed flour and/or hemp “flour” with mixed results; sometimes FANTASTIC…and not-so-much.
Give it a try and let us know how it turned out!
Maria, to kick up the lemon taste, any thoughts on using shavings from the rind of the lemon to the cake or the icing? Are there any added health benefits?
That would work, yes. 🙂
Yum! My dad is coming for a visit and I’ve been working on him to go lc… He is a LEMON fanatic, so I’m exicited to serve this for dessert after a nice lchf meal. Thank you!
Please make a micmic recipe for the starbucks Apple Fritter!
Sometimes I find the recipes to be really sweet. How much would you recommend cutting to keep the treat sweet, but, not over-sweet?
You can always sweeten to taste. Add half the sweetener and go from there. 😉
I can’t wait to try thi! However, I have a general question about un/healthy fats. Sometimes I don’t have MCT oil, coconut oil or butter in the house and live far away from the nearest grocery store. I typically have the Spectrum High Oleic Organic Sunflower Oil in the refrigerator for occasions when I run out or want a flavorless oil. What are your thoughts on using this oil? Here is a link to the datasheet:
http://www.spectrumingredients.com/pdf/ed_oil/Sun%20HO%20Org%200808.pdf
It is an ok option. I have a list of good and bad oils here.

Hi Maria. Can sugarless sugar be substituted in this recipe and if so is it equal parts?
Yes, but be careful with that product. It still has 6.5g carbs per tablespoon.
I’m so happy to have a recipe I can use in the oven instead of the slow cooker! Lemon cake is my favorite. Could we adapt all of your crockpot cakes using this method?
Yay! I used to work at Starbucks and this is one of my favorite things!
Now if I could just get my hands on a healthified version of their “reduced fat very berry coffee cake” I’d be set. (It has waaaay too many no’s for me to ever buy or eat it again.)
LOVE this recipe. LOVE your site. Thanks so much!
Thanks!
All of your recipes look fantastic! One of my biggest hurdles has been an egg intolerance. I seem to react strongly to egg white but not the yolk. I have recently found gelatin works to bind/gel things together but have not baked with it yet. Do you think gelatin would work? I’m thinking no since it has to be chilled to set. Do you have any suggestions for subbing the egg here? Lemon is my all time favorite!!
Not sure. Let me know if you try it. 🙂
Hi m&c,
In your recipes, do youpreheat the oven?also is it safe to assume that this is the regular bake cycle and not convection? Thanks! Making it now with lemon essential oil instead of extract.
How did it turn out with lemon essential oil. I was going to try that bcs I’m not a big fan of the alcohol in lemon extract.
Kristin,
Sorry I missed your comment, I was out of town for a bit.
I did one with essential oil and one with commercial lemon extract and zest. They were pretty much the same. Doing one now with lime juice and lime essential oil. BTW, I used mountain rose brand for both.
Michele
Sorry I meant to respond to this comment with. “Chia seeds are a great egg replacement”.
You can use ground flax seed as an egg substitute. For one egg, combine 1T in 3T of water and let it sit for about 5 minutes. I’ve used this as a sub in recipes for a vegan friend and it worked perfectly!
I prefer using Chia instead of flax. Flax is very estogenic.
I made this cake this morning and it was a VERY expensive disaster. Would you verify the 1 1/4 cup coconut oil amount in the batter recipe is not a typo? I even weighed the coconut oil (270g) to make sure I had an accurate measure. The batter came to the top of the baking pan and while it didn’t overflow, I literally had oil dripping over the rim halfway through the baking time, all over my oven. I had placed a sheet of foil beneath it but there was a lot more oil seeping that the foil could catch. Having baked with almond flour and coconut flour quite a bit, it seemed like the right texture going into the oven but the coconut oil that didn’t cover my oven is now oozing out of the cake, even after cooling. I’m hoping someone else makes this with positive results because it looks wonderful on your post but I’m hesitant to try it again due to the cost.
I had same results…so oily….swimming in it. The oil did not run over, but after baking I have set it on several napkins, they’re drenched. Just looking at It turns your stomach by the wetness from oil. YES, very expensive and TIME consuming disaster! Don’t bake this until amounts verified. Very disappointed!
At first it looks super oily and spongy, but it has to cool in the pan and then set up in the fridge so that the oil can firm up again. The second day, when I took it out of the fridge, it had a great texture. However, if I were to eat it right out of the oven, that would have been gross because the coconut oil would be too runny and the cake would not have been set yet (make sure the center is cooked all the way before you pull it out of the oven). Also, I used and 8 X 8″ pan which is what I always use when the recipe calls for a loaf pan. Things bake better in a square pan than in a loaf pan in my opinion. For some reason, this took about 75 minutes to cook.
The taste was delicious but because of the oil, nuts and eggs being such a major part of the structure it was exrtemely rich. The oiliness was especially noticeable at the bottom of the cake. I cooked it in a loaf pan (glass) and it did take about 75 minutes. Next time I’ll take a very thin slice – too rich. Thank you for sharing such a nice alternative.
I only put a quarter cup of oil in the recipe and I used MCT was able to eat right put of the oven but like I said in my comments needed to add an additional cup of Almond flour and a half cup of coconut flour. Let me ask u with the recipe u are basically having the coconut oil hold this cake together?
A quick follow up. I tasted it after letting it sit on paper towels for several hours to absorb some of the seeping oil. It tastes like slightly sweet lemon oil and the texture is pretty gross- spongy and greasy.
I can assure you that I take accurate notes and retest all my recipes. Just to be sure my husband Craig just re-retested this and we added the photo at the bottom of the post. You have to be sure of a couple things.
1- what brand of coconut flour did you use? Bob’s Red mill tends to cook differently (absorbs less moisture)
2- Make sure the coconut oil is room temp, not heated and is well creamed into the eggs. I used a high speed blender to do this quickly (or a hand mixer will work).
Just to note, we used Tropical Traditions coconut flour and Honeyville almond flour. 🙂
Your recipe says “melted” for the coconut oil so I melted mine and it was warm when i put it in the eggs but not hot enough to cook the eggs? I hand whipped it for several minutes, it is helpful to know how you mix your ingredients “combine until light and fluffy” did not lead me to use an electric mixer? Thank you for your clarifications 🙂 once I got parchment paper down to catch the over flow, some of the drips turned out pretty good, maybe this would also work as muffins or muffin tops?
Sorry, it works with oil melted, but works better when not and combined till frothy. So I updated that above. Yes, they should work as muffin tops. 🙂
I made this late last night, just as the recipe said (with melted oil) and it’s fabulous!! Baked longer than suggested, to be done in the center… used a toothpick. Let it cool all night in the pan (loosely covered) Frosted today and refrigerated …..Yummmm!
I did use a large loaf pan….about 10×5
Thanks!
I had the same problem last night, seemed like a lot of oil but I followed the recipe to a T. I also make a lot of low carb recipes. This one overflowed the 51/2 by 9 loaf pan i used and made a mess in my oven, it was very liquid after 55 minutes so I dumped it into a square 8 X 8 and it seem to finish fine, it taste good though the bottom is quite oily and over moist? I used glass bakeware, don’t know if that would make a diff.
What brand coconut and almond flours did you use?
Can the coconut oil be right?! I baked according to recipe…only discrepancy was placing a piece of parchment on bottom of glass loaf pan. It took forever to bake and just took it out of pan…greasy!! Doesn’t have same look as photo…very sad! I am an avid baker…so bad luck with recipe is not from inexperience. Disappointed.

Hi! Reading your Keto Adapted book! Wondering if you don’t stay in a Keto state (i.e. Too many Carbs on the weekend or at party) will u still receive some weight/health benefits? Or could you be hurting yourself even more?
Thank u 🙂
You may see some benefit, but you will hit a point were things will stall. The only way you can reach your goals is likely going to be living this lifestyle all the time. 🙂
I just finished watching Secrets to a Healthy Metabolism. In it you said that you do not do a lot of coconut flour or almond flour or nuts. How much is too much? On the 30 day meal plans they are not included. How/when can those be added back in?
It really depends on your goals and current state. Some people can have some and still lose weight. Many others can’t have any while trying to lose weight. Most everyone can enjoy occasional treats like this when in maintenance. 🙂
I am very active and healthy but carry around 8-10 extra pounds I can never seem to get rid of. In fact have gained a bit. Even eating your way have not lost weight. I am on day 3 of intermittent fasting from 12-6pm and your newest 30 day meal plan. Each day around 3:30, even with a fat bomb earlier, am still really hungry. I Have been eating the Maria way since October and love it but with nuts and occasional dairy.
If you keep out nuts and diary for at least a month or two like the plans that should help. It can take a little while to get those last few pounds for some people. Just remember this is a lifestyle and you will get there! 🙂
If I wanted to make a pumpkin loaf can I just omit the lemon and incorporate pumpkin?
Hmm, Not sure how that would work. Let me know if you try. 🙂
Tried this tonight and it was a very tough consistency when i put it in the pan. it seemed to need more liquid. Could i have added some almond milk? the flavor was good but the cake was mealy. I had trouble with the icing. It separated and looked like curd so I put it on the cake while it was still hot and it melted ok when I spread it.
If your batter is thick (not sticky) then you, you can add some almond milk. 🙂
I see that several people had a problem with their cakes being soft/greasy and mine was just the opposite. I did use Bob Red Mill
Maria,
Just a couple of comments about the coconut oil and coconut flour questions.
For those who mentioned that the cake was greasy and oozing oil after being baked, you said that the oil should be room temperature, but the recipe itself says that the oil should be melted. (Only the icing recipe mentions that the oil should be ‘softened.’)
As for the coconut flour, I find that — even if batter looks thick immediately after mixing — if I let it sit for a little while, it ensures that the flour has had a chance to absorb some moisture from the other ingredients. This may help, especially if using melted oil.
With that said, I plan to try your recipe, because I LOVE lemon!
Thanks for all of your recipes, Maria!
It will still work with melted oil, it just is a little better with it room temp. I updated it above. Thanks!
Hi Maria,
It’s me Barbo. I cannot wait to make this cake. My Meyer lemon tree is literally dripping
with lemons. Thanks for the recipe. I can smell it cooking right now.
P.S. I AM FINALLY SUCCESSFUL WITH YOUR SUBWAY BREAD! I POSTED THIS TO LC FRIENDS AND MANY ARE TRYING IT AGAIN. THANK YOU MY DH LOVES IT.
Thanks!
Can you substitute butter for the coconut oil?
Yes, if not dairy sensitive. 🙂
I made this today after reading all of the comments. Mine turned out great using Bob’s Red Mill coconut flour. I don’t know for sure, but maybe the oily versions that people are mentioning, are a result of not creaming the eggs and coconut oil. I don’t think it matters whether or not the coconut oil is melted or not as long as you cream the eggs and coconut oil together. The creaming step didn’t work in my mixer so I transferred it to my high speed blender to get the eggs really whipped up. Maybe this will help?
Do NOT grease the pan!!! It is oily enough that it doesn’t stick. And a 9 by 5 pan is TOTALLY not big enough. It will overflow! Otherwise, it’s really good and just sweet enough with the glaze…really great recipe, Mrs. Emmerich! Thank you!
Thanks!
I have this wonderful smelling loaf in the oven as we speak. I noticed the batter was a bit on the runny side (I think I would have been better off using room temp coconut oil, like Maria suggested). But, to remedy this, I added 3 tablespoons of psyllium husk powder. So, more fiber to this lovely dessert! I had to up the oven temp to 350 because after 55 minutes, the center was still wet. Oven temperatures differ so I’m making bake time adjustments to my recipe. Looks amazing!!!!
I made this cake, it smells beautiful. I got it out of the oven and tipped it upside down ( bad idea I know ) it broke in half, I found it to be a bit too wet ! 🙁
I served this to a 10 and a 13 year old and they loved it and asked for more! I made a cream cheese frosting since they like that. I used an 8 X 8″ pan since it is easier for me to cut and store in the fridge that way. Thanks again for a great recipe!
Awesome! 🙂
I made this in an 8×8 pan and had good luck with it. After reading all the comments, I let the eggs sit out on the counter for 2+ hrs so they wouldn’t be cold and make the coconut oil clump up. I also took the chill off the lemon juice. The oil still did have some small clumps in it, but the cake baked ok and tastes wonderful! This will be a favorite at my house, I’m sure! Thanks for another great recipe.
This may be your best recipe ever!! Made it this morning and after chef’s taste, I put it aside for (company) dessert to tonight!! 🙂 thanks!!
Awe, thank you!
Maria, how do you measure your almond flour? With white flour, we wouldn’t want to pack it in…but wondering if almond is treated differently? Tx
Yes, I don’t pack it. Just scoop.
I’m looking in the slow cooker book and I only see a lemon poppy seed loaf, is this the one you’re directing us to at the top of the page?
It shouldn’t be. That is strange.
What the heck, my page 180 is a smoky chicken recipe. Lol that’s weird.
No, in the Slow Cooker cookbook it is on page 180. 🙂
Yes, it is the lemon poppy seed loaf on that page.
sometimes…like tonight…it is very discouraging to be allergic to eggs. this has so many eggs it would not likely work with subs, but sure looks good. i do not mind not eating gluten or dairy milk, but the baking w/o eggs is not always successful.
are you sure ur allergic to the yolks and not just the whites? are u sure u cant tolerate even pastured yolks? and if u still cant tolerate them, have you healed ur gut? it can take even 6 mos to heal. i dont think only yolks could be used in this, but it would nice to eat egg yolks im sure 🙂 im dying without eggs right now becuz im testing myself to see if i react; got almost 3 wks to go of no eggs before i can try them again…i feel ur pain hon
Just made this today. I did it with room temp coconut oil. it did not overflow, and does not look greasy at all. It is still cooling. cant wait to put the icing on and try it. smells yummy!
Thanks!
made it couple days ago, what a great success, everybody loved it, it took me to bake it lot longer though- about 85 minutes, but my oven is not strong, I’m used to it, flavor is just fantastic, thank you Maria, love your work
Thank you!
I’m not really big on almond milk, would coconut milk or hemp milk work as a substitute? This used to be the only thing I’d get from Starbucks and I really miss it, Thank you so much for coming up with a recipe. I can’t wait to make it tonight.
Yes, that will work. Thanks! 🙂
Hi Maria, I love your website and food! But I do have a problem when I eat swerve. I have systemic Candida and when I have swerve it makes my Candida worse and makes me gain weight. Is it because I don’t have a gallbladder? I only use serve once a week.
Hmm, haven’t heard of that before. I don’t think it would be related to the gallbladder.
My husband is allergic to all nuts, and I was wondering in this recipe how would you use coconut flour? Would I have to mix the coconut flour with another type of flour?
This chart can help you convert. 🙂

I read all the comments. Mine too came out dripping in oil, which I thought weird. It would have helped if the recipe explained about the oil. I took mine out of the pan after about 15 minutes to continue cooling, and there was a lot of oil in the loaf pan. I then put it on layers and layers of paper towel, which soaked up A LOT of oil. I, too, thought, what a waste of expensive oil. I used lemon oil as I didn’t have extract. I had a piece today, after leaving it out over night, and it’s much better tasting than yesterday with all the oil in it. It has a wonderful texture and the frosting came out great. Why all the oil? If I make it again, I’ll use less oil, as I liked the flavor and texture without it. I’ll put it in the frig and see how it does from there.
I do appreciate all your time and efforts in bringing us so much great information and recipes!
Thank you!
As you can see from the above photo, mine doesn’t have all the oil like you describe. Could be a different brand of flour you used that absorbed less moisture.
Maria, did you change the recipe since you first posted it? I made it when you just posted it and it came out perfect, and I made it yesterday, following the recipe step by step and it somehow overflowed in the oven while baking and made a mess, then it took way longer than 55 mins to cook and it was so oily that even after cooling it overnight I still couldn’t remove it from the pan without breaking it…. maybe too much oil? maybe replacing half the almond meal with coconut flour to absorb moisture??? I really like this cake, but I’m afraid to try it again… what was different? 🙂
Yes, I repeated the recipe after the comments and that is the photo at the bottom. I have never seen it with the overflow of oil issue. My only guess is that it is a four absorption issue with some flours (brands).
I used Honeyville… I’m frustrated because the first time I made it it was perfect… that’s why I wonder if you change anything… quantities?…
I didn’t change anything. Just added to the directions to mix the coconut oil and eggs together until “light and fluffy”.
What brand coconut flour? That is more likely the culprit.
I…can’t….wait!!!! to make this!!!!!!
Thanks!
This was soooo delicious! My three friends who tried it went nuts for it! I thought the glaze needed a little oomph so I added the juice of 1/4 of a very large lemon. A terrific recipe!
Thank you!
Hey Maria,
Thanks for another great recipe!! I baked it today and it was delicious even before it was entirely cool (I couldn’t wait, of course). Lovely, dense, quickbread-like texture.
I just want to throw this tip out there for the folks with oily disasters: I tried to make this yesterday, but my eggs weren’t at room temp and the oil/eggs separated into a chunky mess. I didn’t want to waste my coconut oil, so I took a chance and threw the oil/eggs in the fridge overnight. Today, I left the mixture out on the counter about 30 minutes and then took my hand mixer to it. After a while, it got nice and creamy, and everything else incorporated nicely.
I used Trader Joe’s coconut flour, Trader Joe’s coconut oil, and Honeyville almond flour. My batter was pretty thick, and it was more of a scoop/pat than a pour to get it into the pan.
It’s funny: I used to think it was the trans-fat and corn syrup that made those Starbucks loafs so good. Now I know it was just fat in general — which is even more wonderful without all the junk! I LOVE FAT!!!
Thanks!
I LOVE this icing…is eating it for a mid-day snack wrong? Best fat bomb I have had! Oh…I like the bread as well, just wanting to stay away from the nut flour right now…thank you Maria!!!
Thanks!
I just made this using a combination of California Almond Flour and Honeyville almond flour (because I ran out of California Almond Flour so just added some honeyville to make up 2 cups) Both said blanch so I said what the heck…Really didn’t measure my coconut oil perfectly. I used 4 aluminum mini loaf pans because I don’t like large loaf pans. I buttered each mini loaf pan and added the batter and it turned out PERFECTLY. Love this recipe!! I just wish I had lemon extract. I used orange extract and it wasn’t the same.
Thanks!
I love all of your recipes, Maria, but I think this is my FAVORITE! It’s just so freakin’ good! I mixed all my ingredients in a Blendtec – first the wet and then the dry. I think it fluffed it up so much so that there was excess batter, so I divided into two loaves. Fine by me, because I got to freeze one of them. Thank you for posting this!!!
Thank you!
Are the carb counts in this for the net carbs? Since the fiber isn’t listed & it doesn’t say net carbs I just want to make sure I’m counting correctly. Excited to try this one, it’s my old favorite Starbucks treat.
No, these are total carbs.
Have you tried importing this recipe into My Fitness Pal? According to MFP this recipe has a whopping 20g carbs per serving. Clearly I am not understanding something…help?!
Swerve’s carbs from from sugar alcohols that aren’t digestible so they don’t count. 🙂
I made this cake today. After reading the comments, I beat the daylights out of the butter and eggs (butter first, then added eggs one at a time) in my Kitchenaid stand mixer. The batter came out so light and fluffy, not runny or dry at all. It was so nice I could easily fold in a cup of blueberries and they stayed suspended in the batter, no dropping to the bottom! Too much for one loaf, so I divided between two loaf pans (mine are slightly smaller than 9 X 5 if you measure the interior). My kitchen smells divine! Fantastic!!
Thanks!
My mouth is watering right now. 🙂 Looks amazing and it’s not too hard to make, so this is pretty much perfect for me. 😀 I really want to try this out.
This looks so delicious!! I just want to verify before making it that it is the Swerve confectioners sugar in both the cake and the icing? I figured it was in the icing, but I’m not sure I have made a cake with confectioner’s sugar in it before. Thanks!
Yep!
And thanks!
Maria, do you think I can make this recipe only using coconut flour? I ask b/c I know the ratios for the quantity of flour used differ quite a bit when substituting one for the other. Thanks!
Can I sub something for almond flour? I love using it but I have an almond sensitive kiddo. He’s also dairy sensitive. This would be a great birthday cake for my husband so I appreciate any ideas. Thanks!
Maybe pecan meal.
Any idea if this works well in a bundt pan?
Yes!
Hello! Just a little FYI for all those who had problems with under cooking, too oily, cake didn’t set, takes way longer to bake, wondering about coconut flour brands, etc…… I just followed this recipe to a T (using Bob’s Redmill brand) and my loaf came out PERFECT. BUT, I have a regular oven (like most people) so I have to bake it at 350 degrees, not 325. You can only bake at 325 if you have a convection oven. So for everyone out there who has a regular oven like me… I bake all of Maria’s recipes at 350 degrees if it says to bake at 325, because Maria has a convection oven and I have a regular one 🙂 Don’t give up on this recipe, it’s perfect!
Thank you😍😍😍
This was awesome….didn’t make the icing but the bread alone was great! used stevia instead of swerve…delicious!
Thanks!
Can you tell me what the texture of this cake is like when all that coconut oil has solified. Is it like the texture of a regular pound cake?
You have to put it in the blender until it really combines well. That keeps the oil from settling out.
I didn’t read all the comments but the recipe as written is off. I followed the recipe but since I read some of the comments I only put a 1/4 cup oil because that made more since to me but it was still in a very liquid state. I had to add an additional cup of almond flour and another half cup of coconut flour. Put in a bundt pan cooked for 65 minutes tasted and smelled amazing.
