Provided by Terri Cabral

Categories     Puddings

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 c gluten-free flour ( i use bob's red mill all purpose)
1 c sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp grated lemon zest (1 lemon)
1/4 c lemon juice
2 egg yolks, reserve whites
1 c milk or buttermilk (cannot use non-dairy almond milk , etc.)
2 egg whites

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling for ingredients while you're in the middle of baking.
  • Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice will give your cake a brighter, more vibrant flavor than bottled lemon juice. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can substitute bottled lemon juice, but be sure to use 100% lemon juice, not a lemon-lime blend.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough and dense. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined, then stop.
  • Bake the Cake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that your cake is cooked through without overbaking it.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting It: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.

This gluten-free lemon cake is a delicious and refreshing treat that's perfect for any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb and bright, citrusy flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a gluten-free dessert, give this lemon cake a try.
