Gluten-Free Lemon Cake

IMG_2466

As some of you know I recently attempted to go gluten-free to see if it would help with some digestive issues I was suffering from. I managed to avoid anything with gluten for about a month. I have added it back into my diet now and it seems to be going just fine. Maybe my body needed a break. Hmmm.

Last week at work we needed a recipe for a gluten-free dessert. I knew just where to find a good one. I cruised on over to visit Karina at Gluten Free Goddess and sure enough I found this lovely lemon yogurt cake. It uses rice flour and almond flour in place of wheat flour. It's moist and delicious and best of all it's a snap to make...always a good thing. My only change to the original recipe was the substitution of white rice flour for sweet rice flour.

Hop on over HERE for the recipe. Even if you aren't on a gluten-free diet I know you'll love this cake! ;0)

Hope you all are having a terrific week! Thanks for stopping by to visit.

I don't need to be gluten-free, but I've been curious about trying different flours.

Karina is definitely the gluten-free baking master! I'm glad the wheat incorporation is going well. Hope it stays that way!

This looks so moist and dense and delicious! I'm glad you're feeling better. I once went gluten-free for six months and slowly added it back to my diet. Haven't had any problems since.

Mmmm I always substitute wheat flour for ground almonds as my way of avoiding wheat, this cake sounds delicious and moist!

Unknown said...

Lovely looking cake especially since the texture of some gluten free products can be a bit rubbery or too crumbly. This looks right on the mark.

Hope work is going good!

I'll send this recipe along to my gluten-free friends. :)

This sounds delicious, Kim. My granddaughter has issues with gluten so I will make this for her when she comes to visit next month.

Hope all is going well. It rained all day yesterday at the market. No fun at all.

Hi Kim. This post is almost a year old...how was the re-incorporation of gluten?

Typically, it may go okay at first, but as your body builds up things it can't handle, the problems return.

I've been GF since 1996. I 'don't have to be' either, but everything is so much better when I am. No allergies, no red skin rashes, no intestinal discomfort.

BTW, sweet rice flour is vastly different than white rice flour. SWF is super fine, widely sold in Japanese stores, and we use it in small quantities for it's delicate texture and flavor in things like crusts or pastries.
