Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Almond Flour

Instructions

Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a 9x13-in loaf pan and line with parchment.
Cake: Whisk almond flour, baking powder, and salt together; set aside.
Using a stand or hand mixer, whisk egg yolks and sweetener 2 min until slightly thickened. Add orange zest, lemon zest, and olive oil; whisk until smooth. Fold in almond flour mixture, alternating with yogurt.
In a separate clean bowl, whisk egg whites to soft peaks.
Stir one-third of the whites into the batter until combined. Gently fold in the remaining whites.
Pour into prepared pan. Bake 30–35 min until golden and a tester comes out clean.
Glaze: Whisk sweetener with orange juice in a pan over medium heat 3–5 min until dissolved. Pour over warm cake, then cool completely before serving.
