3 Eggs
1 Lemon - juice & zest

Instructions

Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 200C/400F degrees.
Blend together the butter, eggs, erythritol, coconut milk, lemon zest and juice
Add the coconut flour, baking powder and salt, and whisk until there are no lumps and there is a smooth batter.
Pour into cupcake cups or a greased muffin tray.
Bake for 20 minutes and allow to cool.
Blend the topping ingredients until smooth. I used a hand blender but feel free to do an upper arm workout and try it with a fork/spoon!
Slather the topping over the lemon cakes (or pipe it, my piping bag had to be thrown out so I had to slather!)
Eat and enjoy!
