Lemon Loaf Cake

Ingredients:

Cake:

• 1 1/2 cups gluten-free oat flour
• 1/2 cup brown rice flour
• 1/4 cup potato starch
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 cup maple syrup
• Zest from 2 medium-sized lemons
• 1/2 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds
• 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
• 2 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract or powder

Lemon frosting (optional):

• 2/3 cup raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 15 minutes
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2-3 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Line an 8- or 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, brown rice flour, potato starch, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.

In another bowl, add the maple syrup, lemon zest and juice, ground flaxseeds, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Whisk until uniform.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until you get a uniform batter. Pour batter into prepared loaf tin and bake for 30-40 minutes, until lightly browned on top and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.

Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.

To make the lemon frosting, combine the cashews, maple syrup, water, and lemon juice in a blender and blend until very smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. When the cake is cool, spread the frosting on top.

Slice and serve. Best enjoyed on the day of baking and kept in an airtight container until needed.

Serves 4-6
