Gluten Free Lemon Loaf

 

                 

Lemon Season... when those lemon trees are absolutely smothered in lemons and you are thinking how can I put these to good use?




 This recipe is perfect for those on a gluten free diet, or if you would just like to create something a little different...








Some of the recipes I make on a normal day basis, are flourless or use ingredients such as ground almonds, or other flours, which make a nice alternative to the usual ingredient of wheat flour, and often produce a lovely texture and taste to the food, that is a welcome change. 




For the moment though, enjoy this lovely GF lemon loaf

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lemon Yoghurt Cake

                 

Today I made this beautifully moist and lemony cake. It is impossible to go wrong with this cake, so simple to make, and so lovely and fragrant. Handpicked lemons from my wonderful little lemon tree add to the organic flavour of this cake..



Lemon Yoghurt Cake

• 3/4 cup sunflower oil (or canola)
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup plain yoghurt
• juice and zest of 1 lemon
• 1 1/2 cups caster sugar
• 2 cups self-raising flour

1. Preheat oven to 160c.
2. Whisk together wet ingredients, and then add dry ingredients and combine.

Lemon Icing
Combine 1/2 cup icing sugar, the juice of 1 lemon, and if you need a bit more liquid add a little water.  Mix and pour over the cake.
