Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a bundt cake pan with coconut oil (VERY important!)
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, syrup, and lemon extract.
- Stir into dry ingredients, then stir in poppy seeds.
- Pour into greased pan.
- Bake in oven for 40-50 minutes, until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool for 30 minutes (VERY important!) on a wire rack before turning upside-down onto a serving platter. Let cool another 10-15 minutes before drizzling with glaze.
Instructions for the glaze
- Combine the coconut cream concentrate, coconut milk, syrup, lemon extract and vanilla in a bowl.
- It will thicken, so add water slowly until it gets to a “glaze” consistency.
- After cake has cooled, drizzle glaze over it and store in fridge for best results.

This is really good! I do not tolerate coconut, so I used almond milk instead. I do not care for maple flavor, so I used honey. I was out of lemon extract and so I used almond. Cake turned out moist and really good. Glaze is not needed, IMO. It’s terrific without it.

This is amazing! Just posted a link from my page. Thank you so much!

This cake is AMAZING. We had it for my dads birthday and it was so super good. I zested a lemon I had on hand and threw that in their too and it was so tasty. I did want to say in this review that I only needed to cook it for 25 minutes and it was completely done, the sides had even gotten a little more brown than I would have liked. I create grain-free recipes for my blog (Mindfulmama.org) and I have never made coconut cream icing like that and I absolutely loved it! I only head 3/4 C of maple syrup for the cake and it ended up being sweet enough for our taste! Thanks again for this terrific creation, my dad LOVED it and kept raving about it over and over. Posted it to my FB page today for my readers. Thanks and blessings!

Quick question: is the coconut milk canned or in the carton? This sounds so yummy, I want to make it for our Wednesday dessert! TIA
Shanti Landon says
Hi, Jineen! This is the coconut milk from a can. =) Hope you like the cake!

I cook a lot for my elderly parents. Mom has many food allergies. I appreciate your recipes because they often don’t use the foods she is allergic to. However, you use blanched almond flour in many baking recipes. Mom is allergic to almonds. What other flour or combination of flours would you suggest instead? Thank you and God Bless You.
Shanti Landon says
Hi, Buffy! Yes, I do use blanched almond flour a lot, it’s my favorite grain-free flour to bake with. Is your mom ok with gluten free flours? If so, I also like Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 flour blend. I’ve also heard great things about Cassava flour, but haven’t experimented with it myself much yet. I hope that helps!
