Ingredients for this Lemon Drizzle Cake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This\u00a0gluten-free cake with lemon\u00a0comes together with a handful of well-balanced ingredients that ensure both flavour and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Gluten-free flour blend + corn flour<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Gives structure while keeping the crumb light and soft.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ground almonds (almond meal)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Adds a subtle nutty richness. For a slightly lighter, finer crumb, you can use almond flour instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Butter + raw cane sugar<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Creates a soft, flavourful base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Eggs<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Essential for structure and binding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Buttermilk + fresh lemon juice<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Adds moisture and gentle tang; whisk together before adding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Lemon zest<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Adds bright, fresh lemon flavour throughout the cake. Be careful to avoid the bitter white pith when zesting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Icing sugar + lemon juice (for drizzle)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Soaks into the warm cake for that classic drizzle finish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Use unwaxed lemons if possible and for the best texture bring the cold ingredients to room temperature ahead of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
