Ingredients
* 3/4 cup + 1 Tbs. milk, dairy or non-dairy (soy, almond, cashew, hemp, rice, etc.)
* 3 Tbs. fresh squeezed lemon juice
* 2 1/2 cups (337.5 grams) gfJules™ Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
* 1 Tbs. baking powder
* 1/2 tsp. fine sea salt
* 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
* 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
* 1 Tbs. lemon zest
* 3 tablespoons flaxseed dissolved with 9 tablespoons of water
GLAZE
* 1 cup sifted confectioner’s sugar
* 2 Tbs. lemon juice
* 1 Tbs. lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (convection) or 350° F (static).
Oil and flour (with GF cornstarch or gfJules™ Flour) you baking pan.
Measure and mix together the milk, lemon juice and set aside. The milk will begin to curdle while you prepare the rest of the batter.
Whisk together gfJules™ Flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, whip butter and sugar at medium-high speed for 6-8 minutes, until very light and fluffy. Add vanilla and lemon zest, then the flaxseed mixture.
Slowly stir in the whisked dry ingredients, alternating with the milk mixture and stirring until fully integrated.
Pour batter into prepared pan, filling only 2/3 full. If you have extra batter that will not fit into your pan, bake in another small loaf pan or ramekin.
The edges of the cake will become lightly browned as well.
The bake time will depend in part on whether your pan is dark metal, light metal, glass or stoneware, so begin testing at 60 minutes so as not to overcook the cake.
Bake until a toothpick in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs — approximately 65-75 minutes. The edges of the cake will become lightly browned as well. If also baking a small loaf pan, bake only about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the loaf springs back to a light touch.
Remove baked cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Go around the inside of the pan with a butter knife to help release the cake, then gently turn the cake out onto your palm then back to the wire rack once removed from the pan. When completely cooled, glaze following the directions below.
