Serves 4
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
- 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar, plus more for dusting
- 1 cup gluten free Bistro Flour Blend*
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus finely grated zest of 2 lemons, plus more for garnish (optional)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Dust with sugar, and tap out excess; set aside. Whisk together flour, salt, xanthan gum and baking soda. Stir together 1 tablespoon lemon juice and the milk.
- Put butter and 3/4 cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in eggs and zest. Working in two batches, alternate mixing in flour mixture and milk mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, about 55 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir together remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Upon removing cake from oven, immediately brush with lemon glaze. Let cake cool in pan 10 minutes. Un-mold cake. Brush remaining glaze on top. Garnish with zest.

This cake doesn't rise very much, so don't be surprised if it's shorter than you might expect.
