Almond Flour Blueberry Lemon Cake

I love a good blueberry lemon cake and this almond flour blueberry lemon cake is no exception! It’s lower in carbohydrates so I can eat it and not have negative blood sugar consequences and it tastes delicious! It’s perfect for a breakfast cake but can also be made as a dessert too.

The sour cream in the cake keeps it’s super moist too. I use a mix of monk fruit and sugar in my cake but I will list the option of using all sugar or other sugar alternatives if you are not into monk fruit as a sweetening option.

This cake is almost like a blueberry upside down cake. We are using almond flour so it liquefies a little more than regular flour when it heats up so the blueberries tend to sink into the bottom 1/2 of the cake but it just adds to the cakes charm.

This cake will keep on your counter top for around 3 days until it starts to get a little funky but will last in the refrigerator for a week or so.
