Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9×1-1/2-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Line bottom with parchment paper and coat with cooking spray, if desired. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar substitute; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the 1 cup almond milk, the yogurt, 1 teaspoon lemon peel, and the 1/4 cup lemon juice all at once. Beat on medium speed until combined.
Step 4
Add flour mixture all at once to beaten mixture. Beat on low speed just until combined.
Step 5
Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.
Step 6
For glaze, in a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon lemon peel, the 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and the 1 tablespoon almond milk. Stir until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cake, allowing it to run over the edges. Top cake with berries. If desired, garnish with additional lemon peel.
