There are many types of sponge cake and I have been experimenting to find the easiest method with the best results. I found this method of making the meringue with the egg whites and adding to the egg yolk batter yielded the best result in terms of rise and texture. Always trying to find short cuts, I tried baking them directly but sadly, they tend to sink in the middle. Finally, I had to try the water bath method and lo and behold, they turned out nicely all the time. Even if there is any sinkage, it will be very mild.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE BATTER
Coconut flour = 40 g (5 3/4 tbsp) (OR Almond flour = 120 g / 1 cup)
Egg yolks = 5 large
Salt = 1/2 tsp
Coconut oil = 60 ml (1/4 cup) (OR any keto friendly oil)
Fresh lemon juice = 30 ml (2 tbsp) to 45 ml (3 tbsp)
INGREDIENTS FOR THE MERINGUE
Egg whites = 5 large
Monk fruit = 80 g (6 1/3 tbsp) to 100 g (1/2 cup)
Cream of tartar = 1/2 tsp (OR 1 tsp of lemon juice or white vinegar)
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven at 302 F or 150 C.
2. In a bowl, add the egg yolks, coconut oil, fresh lemon juice, salt and whisk to combine. Then add the flour and whisk until well combined. The batter may appear dry but it's fine as the meringue will be added later. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, add the egg whites, cream of tartar and beat with a handheld mixer. Once foamy, add the sweetener in 3 batches. Beat until stiff peaks.
4. Add the meringue into the batter in 3 batches. Fold gently to combine. The meringue is very important to ensure proper rise. Do not mix or stir as it will break the meringue. Folding is like scooping up the batter.
5. In the video, I used a 6 x 3-inch square pan, lined with parchment paper. It's important to ensure the parchment paper is higher than the pan, particularly if you are not using tall pan.
6. Spread evenly and tap the pan a few times to remove air bubbles.
7. For the water bath baking, use a baking dish or pan that is big enough to fit the pans and water. As my pan has a removable bottom, I used another pan that is slightly bigger than my pan with batter so that I do not need to wrap my pan with foil to prevent water from getting in. This method is so convenient and foolproof.
8. Pour hot water into the big pan up to 1 inch high.
9. Bake for 1 hour at the lowest rack.
10. Once the top feels firm and a wooden skewer comes out clean, then the cake is done. Remove from oven and immediately remove the cake from the pan.
11. Gently peel off the parchment paper with the help of a spatula as the parchment paper tends to stick to the cake.
12. Dust with powdered sweetener and cut into 9 servings.
13. In the video, I showed you the coconut flour version and I have also showed you how the almond flour version will look. Even though both versions are just as delicious, but the coconut flour version is so light, soft and fluffy. The almond flour version is slightly heavier and moister due to the texture of the flour.
14. The cake can be kept at room temperature for a few days provided you have a cool and dry climate. Otherwise, it is best to refrigerate earlier for up to a week and you can eat it straight from the fridge as it actually tastes very good chilled.

Hi Elsie, Thank you again for a wonderful low-carb recipe! I am looking forward to making this lemon treat. 🍋 I really love anything that is lemon! 🍋 Take care and be well. Your friend in the U.S., Judith in Chicago, Illinois USA ❤
Nice to hear from you Judith ❤️

@@lowcarbrecipeideas Thanks Elsie. 👍🏻
Thank you so much. I did it, and this recipe is almost perfect. I also made a "cheesecake" icing with cream cheese and vanilla sweetener if someone want to try it. ❤
Thank you for your feedback 🙏
Looks Yummy! I made your lemon curd and have a lot left, can I add the lemon curd in its place? If so, how much? TY for your delicious recipes.
So glad you made the lemon curd. Frankly, I have not tried that so am not sure whether the texture and taste will be affected. You can give it a try and add either 30 or 45 g. Please let me know how it turns out if you do try it 🙏
Tasty 🤙🍍🏝 1:12
Hola, podias hacer una cema de limon y asi relleno este pastel?
Do you mean lemon curd?
Si
Any substitute for cream of tartar?
Can I use the steaming method instead of baking it with hot water? Thanks ❤
Sorry I have not tried that so am not sure whether it will work or not 🙏 If you do try it please let me know how it turns out thanks
Thanks for your reply i had tried your matcha cake using the Coconut cream taste Good in cakes thanks
@@Tin-rv9pc That's great! Thanks so much for your feedback 🙏
❤❤❤❤❤❤
What would happen if you don't use a double tin and add hot water? Would it burn?
I have already tried that, and the cake tends to sink in the middle. It only works with the water bath baking method.
Delicioso 😋😋
Can butter be used instead of oil?
Yes you can use melted butter
Only lemon juice?, why not lemon peel?
You can add the zest if you like. The lemon taste is quite strong as it is.
