Whole Lemon Blender Cake
Our Whole Orange Blender Cake went mega viral so we knew we had to create a lemon version. I switched up the recipe and used a more traditional approach with all purpose flour and cane sugar. This cake is awesome and definitely packed with all the lemon flavors. It has a dense texture which is due to the blender process.
The best type of lemon for this recipe is a Meyer’s Lemon -if you have it. I did not have it and used a regular lemon and it came out great. If you don’t have Vanilla Greek Yogurt, simply use regular Greek yogurt and add in 1 tsp vanilla extract and a bit more sugar to the blender.

will it work w/almond flour?
The best!! Can I freeze this cake?
can you sub the all purpose flour with almond flour and 3 eggs?
Any way to make this gluten free?
So good.
HI Andre, yes!! thanks for trying the recipe!
Ugg ignore my comment. I didn’t read to the very bottom of the recipe! lolll I hate it when people do that (other people! haha).
If I use plain greek yogurt (I never buy the flavored stuff), I know to add vanilla, but would I also add more sugar? Can’t wait to try this!
This is my favorite cake ever! I make it, cut into small wedges and freeze. This way I can have 1 slice a day. It’s great frozen, with frosting, or microwaved!
It’s also yummy with limes, I may try it with oranges too.
Cant wait to make this! But how big are the cups youre talking about? Like how many gram?
Tried your recipe and it was a success!! Did not have All Purpose Flour and had to use White Whole Wheat instead. Had to use food processor since I don’t own one of the powerful blenders. Great recipe and so DELICIOUS!! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes
Hi Maria, so glad the cake was to your liking! Thanks for trying it out and the kind feedback!
