Baking this extraordinary Gluten-Free Lemon Cake is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure there are no clumps.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, applesauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the cake to be tough.
5. Pour Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
7. Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Make Optional Glaze: For an extra zing, you might choose to make a lemon glaze by combining powdered sugar with a little lemon juice until you reach your desired consistency.
9. Decorate (Optional): Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake if desired, or dust with powdered sugar for a charming finish.

These steps will lead you to create a delightful Gluten-Free Lemon Cake that’s sure to impress!
