Gluten free lemon drizzle cake recipe

Gluten free lemon and poppy seed cake 

If you don't already know, i'm coeliac which means that i cannot consume any wheat or gluten which explains why this is a gluten free recipe! To me it tastes just as good but if you are not avoiding gluten and choose to eat normal flour then all you will need to do is swap the flour in the recipe, everything else stays the same. 

what you will need:

125g/5oz gluten free self raising flour blend

100g/4oz butter

125g/5oz caster sugar

2 eggs 

3 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp grated lemon rind

1tbsp poppy seeds

1tbsp icing sugar

How to:

1. Place flour, softened butter, sugar, eggs, lemon juice, rind and poppy seeds into a bowl and beat really well (either using a mixer such as a kitchen aid or your own arm strength with a spoon)

2. When your mixture is ready and has been mixed well enough it should look something like this.

3. Pour into an oiled and greaseproof lined 500g/1lb baking tin. 

4. Bake in a preheated oven for 45 minutes. 

5. turn out onto a wire rack to cool. 

6. When cold dust with icing sugar, lemon rind and also any lemon juice or icing that you may want to add.

7. Serve and enjoy! :)
