Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup Swerve Confectioners
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp lemon extract
  • 2 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 2/3 cup Swerve Granular
  • 1/3 cup unflavored whey protein powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the Swerve Confectioners until smooth. Beat in the egg, lemon zest, and lemon extract until well combined. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, Swerve Granular, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Spoon half of the batter into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the batter, then top with the remaining cake batter.
  • Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the cream cheese through the cake batter to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Cool completely before slicing and serving.
