Gluten-Free Lemon Cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Cakes and Desserts
Gluten-free flours lack gluten, which would provide the cake's structure, so these cakes tend to be crumbly. Here, egg white foam and fat emulsion take over the 'glue' role. The acidity of the lemon not only flavours but also reacts with the baking powder to help volume expansion.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Eggs
⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Whisk the eggs with the sugar and salt until foamy (min. 5 minutes).

Tip: This gives the cake its airiness.
2 ✓

Mix in the liquid cream, lemon juice, and zest.

Tip: The fat content of the cream softens the gluten-free flour particles.
3 ✓

Fold in the flour mixed with baking powder.

Tip: Work quickly; as soon as moisture hits the baking powder, gas production begins.
4 ✓

Bake at 180°C for 25-30 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.

Tip: Do not overbake, as GF flours dry out quickly.

Recipe FAQ

Why did it fall apart when slicing?
Gluten-free cakes are more fragile. Let it cool completely before cutting, because the structure (starch gel) is not stable while warm.
