Step 1
To make the topping: In a small bowl, use a fork or pastry blender to combine the almond flour, coconut oil, maple sugar, and lemon zest until crumbly. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the cake batter.
Step 2
, Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line the bottom and sides of an 8” square pan with parchment paper, bringing it up and over two of the sides to create a sling (for easy removal of the cake once it’s baked). Lightly grease the parchment.
Step 3
, To make the cake batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon juice and zest, coconut oil, extracts, and maple sugar.
Step 4
, In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
, Add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring until thoroughly combined and smooth.
Step 6
, Fold in half the blueberries. Spread the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top; a small offset spatula works well here.
Step 7
, Sprinkle the remaining blueberries over the batter, then sprinkle the crumb topping over the berries.
Step 8
, To bake the cake: Bake the cake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and a toothpick or thin paring knife inserted near the center of the cake comes out mostly clean, with a few crumbs clinging to it.
Step 9
, Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes. Then loosen its edges with a table knife, and use the parchment sling to remove it from the pan. Set the cake on a rack to cool.
Step 10
, To make the glaze: Blend the maple sugar in a high-speed blender, food processor, or spice/coffee grinder until it’s powdery. This can take up to 10 minutes in a food processor but requires only 30 seconds in a spice grinder.
Step 11
, In a small bowl, combine the powdered maple sugar with 1 tablespoon (14g) of the lemon juice. If needed, add additional lemon juice a few drops at a time to reach a drizzling consistency.
Step 12
, Drizzle the glaze over the cake. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
Step 13
, Storage instructions: Store leftover cake, well wrapped, at room temperature for up to three days; freeze the un-glazed cake for longer storage.
