HEALTHY LEMON BUNDT CAKE
Do You Love Bundt Cakes? Who doesn’t… specially a delicious Healthy Lemon Bundt Cake. Bundt Cakes are one of my all time favorite type of dessert simply because of how moist and nutrient dense they can be.
This cute healthy lemon bundt cake is gluten-free, refined sugar free and optional dairy free with a very deep lemon flavour!!
This healthy lemon bundt cake is made in a 10inches/25cm bundt cake mold, so it’s pretty big! Be sure to check you have the same mold to follow those quantities. If the mold is smaller, just divide the portions into half.
DIABETIC DIET TIP
I LOVE how this lemon bundt cake turned out! It’s quite big so it can last me all week long pretty much. What I usually do in this case is slice it completely and freeze up all the portions. I found long time ago it is actually a great idea, don’t you think? Because think about it… if you know you’re going to be all day away of home and you pack your own food for the day, why not taking your own healthy desserts with you also?
So this healthy lemon bundt cake is made with rice flour and almond flour. It has a little more carbohydrate content than my usual healthy dessert recipes but since it’s a big bundt cake, 2 cups of rice flour are not that much on each portion, so let me tell you this healthy cake won’t be a danger to your blood sugar levels during stable conditions (unless you are experiencing a hyperglycaemia).
Same happens with the healthy fats and the coconut sugar content. Our suggestion is to always make sure your sugar levels are stable when you snack on this healthy lemon bundt cake, about 80-115 mg/dL approximately.

🇪🇸 Spanish:
Delicioso bundt cake de limón sin gluten, sin lácteos ni azúcares refinados!
He usado un molde de 25cm de diámetro, así que es bastante grande! Si tenéis uno más pequeño, dividir las porciones en la mitad. En caso de querer usar las mismas porciones que he escrito pero con un molde más pequeño, podéis poner el relleno en dos moldes separados.
