Hi! Summer is finally starting to wind down. Finally. This was the hottest summer I can remember. This is a sweet, quick summery cake. First you make the cake, which is a light lemon loaf cake, and then you make a simple glaze and pour it over the hot cake. When the cake cools, the glaze hardens on the top of the cake and it’s such a perfect dessert. My mom made this when we were younger, and I like to think about Baby P growing up eating it too.
Lemon loaf cake
Originally posted about in 2008!
1/2 c milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 c gf flour mix
1 t baking powder
1/2 t xanthan gum (leave out if you’re using a flour mix with xanthan gum)
pinch of salt
zest from 1 lemon
Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a loaf pan. Cream the butter and sugar together, then beat in the milk and eggs. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix until combined. Pour into a greased loaf pan, and bake 40-45 minutes at 350, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Pour glaze over cake.
Lemon Glaze
1/2 c sugar
1/4 c lemon juice
Combine sugar and lemon juice, and heat in either the microwave or stove top. If you really love lemon, double the glaze!
this is how things are in my life
