1 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp coconut flour

Instructions

First, prepare your honey substitute following this recipe
Beat the eggs with stevia, melted butter, ground vanilla and baking soda. (Use the power of your muscles if you want to do it as ancient Greeks did or use an electric mixer if you would like a quicker result)
Mix the cream cheese energetically with the juice and grated zest of 1 lemon. Add in Honey substitute and coconut flour
Gently mix the two mixtures together with a spatula and place the batter in your round cake mould. Approximately 25 cm (8 inches) wide
Bake the cake for 35 minutes at 170ºC and then turn the oven off and leave the cake to cool down in the oven. Don't get tempted to open the oven because the cake might lose the hight

Notes

If you cannot find Ricotta or Anthotiro, good old Mascarpone will serve. Make sure you don't use any kind of industrial cream cheese that contain additives and excess carbohydrates.
