Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 175 °C. Line a baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2
In the first bowl, mix the spelt flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt.
3
In a second, larger bowl, whisk the eggs with the honey until the mixture becomes light and slightly frothy. Add the Greek yogurt, oil, vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice, and mix well.
4
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ones. Mix only until combined, so the cake stays light.
5
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40–50 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry.
6
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by heating the lemon juice and honey. While the cake is still hot in the pan, poke it several times with a toothpick and pour the glaze over it. Let it cool completely before slicing.
