Lemon Coconut Cake Lemon Glaze Recipes

LEMON COCONUT CAKE & LEMON GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Using coconut oil, grease the molds, cake pan or muffin tins.
• Whisk the wet ingredients together in a large bowl (applesauce, coconut oil, honey, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest.)
• In a small bowl, mix the dry ingredients together (coconut flour, arrowroot flour, baking soda, and salt.)
• Mix the dry ingredients into the large bowl with the wet ingredients. Fold in the shredded coconut.
• Prepare the gelatin egg- pour the water in a small pan. Slowly sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a thin layer and allow to bloom for 2 minutes. Turn the heat to medium low to melt the gelatin and then whisk until frothy.
• Pour the gelatin egg into the large bowl with the batter and quickly stir it in.
• Spoon the batter into the molds filling about 3/4 full.
• Place in the oven on the middle rack and bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden brown or a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 30 minutes and then remove from the pan onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
• In a small pan over low heat, soften the coconut butter.
• Once softened, add the rest of the ingredients and whisk until smooth.
• Simmer on low for 2-3 minutes, just until everything is mixed and the desired consistency is reached. Cool for 5 minutes, then glaze the cooled bunnies by dipping the bunnies one at a time. Alternatively you can spoon the glaze onto the bunnies and spread the glaze using the back of a spoon.
• Sprinkle with additional lemon zest or dried lavender if desired.
• Place on a cooling rack for 10 minutes and then put in the fridge for 20-30 minutes so that the glaze will harden.
• Store in a glass container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Remove from the refrigerator 10-15 minutes before serving.

Add the flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time, mixing on low speed until batter is smooth.
