Have you enjoyed a slice of amazing lemon loaf with your tea? Done right, it can really make a memorable moment. Above is a picture of my wife enjoying hers with a beer…I forgot to take a picture of the cake…I was really interested in trying out a new recipe that was lower in sugar and had fresh ingredients in it so that I could offer it to more my health conscious friends. The first time I made this was for my wife’s 50th birthday and we loved it.
Since that day I decided I need to perfect a Gluten Free Lemon Loaf that would make anyone happy so that my friend Jamie Holloway, and anyone else that is gluten intolerant, can also indulge and not worry about repercussions….here’s the fun part…if you bake it in a cake pan…it doesn’t look like a loaf anymore…
