Honey Lemon Cake

Ingredients:

• ½ cup coconut sugar
• 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
• ⅓ cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice
• ½ cup runny raw honey
• 1 tsp vanilla powder or alcohol-free vanilla extract
• 1 cup gluten-free oat flour
• ⅔ cup brown rice flour
• ⅓ cup tapioca starch
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Fresh lemon slices, to serve (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line the bottom and sides of a small springform cake pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine coconut sugar, lemon zest and juice, raw honey, and vanilla. Whisk until uniform.

Add the oat flour, brown rice flour, tapioca starch, and baking powder to the bowl. Stir until you have a uniform batter.

Pour batter into prepared baking tin and place in the oven. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cool for 5 minutes in the baking tin, then remove and cool on a cooling rack.

To serve, garnish with a few lemon slices and a drizzle of honey on top (optional). Enjoy!
