There isn’t a lemon ‘thing’ I don’t love. I really do love all things lemon, so when my daughter (yet again) requested a keto lemon recipe, I was all over it! This Lemon Pound Cake is not only keto approved but paleo approved!
Summer is just around the corner and I can totally feel it in the air. It’s been about 80 degrees the last day or 2 and I love it! It’s nearly mid-June and I’m hoping June gloom just passes us by this year. I’m not working summer school this year so I’m really hoping for some clear skies, warm temps and lots of fun in the sun!
What Would You Like To See???
With not working summer school, I do hope to get more done this year than ever before on my blog and Beautycounter. Don’t get me wrong …..fun in the sun will definitely happen BUT I am hoping to knock out way more recipes for you. With that said, let me know what you’d like to see more of and I’d be happy to work on those very things. Keto seems to be a huge crowd pleaser these day so with my daughter living more of a keto lifestyle, I’m dabbling around a lot more in that area so if that interests you, please let me know! And definitely let me know if this Keto & Paleo Lemon Pound Cake is up your alley!
As I mentioned, I am also going to try and focus on building a team with my Beautycounter business. I realized after going to Leadership Summit, that this company is thriving and going no where! In fact, it’s taking off like no other. With more health and wellness being a focus in so many lives these days, the skin care and make up industry are making changes as they see the demand for non-toxic products and I’m so glad to be a part of one of the first companies to pursue safer products that are not only better for our health but are high performing! I absolutely love the mission, the products and the women I work with. If you’re looking to swap out some of your products, please email me (cocosbeautycounter@gmail.com) and let me know if you have questions.
If you’re looking to start your own business and work with like-minded people, again — email me and let me know how I can help you pursue the opportunity! Feel free to browse my website if you are unfamiliar with Beautycounter or if you just want dabble around the site looking at products or seeing the benefits of joining my team. ALSO! A new product was just released – ‘Overnight Resurfacing Peel‘ and guys, it’s amazing! I got a full sized bottle at Leadership Summit and have used it 3x per week since then and my age spots have diminished remarkably! It’s crazy! I keep checking the mirror to see if I’m seeing things – haha. So if nothing else, head over and read more about that product. I’m seriously baffled on how good my skin feels, looks and the lightening of my dreaded age spots! I’d love to send you samples of the peel so again, email me at cocosbeautycounter@gmail.com so you can get in on all the details for giveaways and gifts with purchase!
Summer Lovin’ Lemon
Ok – so there ya go with my summer agenda but let’s talk about how good lemon and summer go hand in hand. Right? I mean, lemon water is so refreshing on hot summer days. This Keto & Paleo Lemon Pound Cake is pretty summer friendly if I do say so myself. I actually felt bad because I made this cake a few times to perfect the recipe and I ate most of each loaf! Here I was trying to please my daughter and I pretty much took over! Another lemon recipe you might like are these Lemon Cookies! They are always a crowd pleaser!
I know this Keto & Paleo Lemon Pound Cake was long awaited because I had one more tweak before I shared it with you all – so I hope you like it! Please let me know what you think! Enjoy!

This looks delicious! Do you take the loaf out of the pan and then cool for 20 minutes? Or cool in the pan for 20 minutes?
Thanks
Hi there! Thank you so much! Yes, I let the loaf cool in pan for 15-20 minutes, then take out of pan by holding the ends of the parchment paper and I lay it on cooking rack. Thanks again!
