Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a loaf pan (8x4-inches) with parchment paper.
Whisk together the almond milk and lemon juice. Set aside to thicken for a few minutes.
In a large bowl mix together the thickened milk/lemon juice with the eggs, olive oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Then whisk in the coconut flour, baking powder, salt, lemon zest, and poppy seeds.
Whisk until the batter becomes smooth and free of lumps. Depending on your brand of coconut flour, the batter may seem too thick. Add more almond milk (1 tablespoon at a time) until thinned out a bit. If its too thin and runny, add more coconut flour (1 tablespoon at a time) until thickened.
Then transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake the coconut flour lemon loaf for about 30 to 40 minutes until the center is set and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before unmolding. Then cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cooled, stir together powdered sugar and lemon juice to make a glaze. Drizzle over the lemon loaf to cover the top surface.
