Ingredients

1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp fine sea salt
2 large eggs
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp lemon zest, finely grated
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

1

Preheat the air fryer to 320 degrees F for 3 minutes. Lightly grease two 6-ounce ramekins or oven-safe mugs with butter.
2

In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup coconut flour, 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener), 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/8 tsp fine sea salt.
3

Add 2 large eggs, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest, 2 tsp fresh lemon juice, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp heavy cream. Whisk vigorously until a smooth batter forms with no lumps. Let it rest for 2 minutes - coconut flour absorbs liquid slowly.
4

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared ramekins.
5

Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket and cook at 320 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6

Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 3 minutes before serving. Serve warm, topped with a dusting of powdered erythritol or a small spoonful of whipped cream if desired.
