Gluten Free Lemon Drizzle Cake
200g butter
200g caster sugar
4 eggs
175g ground almonds
250g mashed potatoes
Zest 3 lemons
2 tsp gluten-free baking powder
DRIZZLE
4 tsbp sugar
Juice 1 lemon
- Beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy, like a tarts pants, gradually add the egg, to the mixture, not the pants. Fold in the almonds, cold mashed potato (I boiled up 300g to give me the 250g needed – but peel them first !!!), lemon zest and baking powder.
- Tip into tin, level the top, and bake for 40-45 minutes (gas 4 or equivalent) until golden and a skewer comes out clean. To get it to look like mine turn it out too soon then ram back into the tin and when cold cover with the drizzle which you’ve made by mixing the sugar and lemon juice together.
