Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9 inch baking tin with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5

Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

Once the cake has cooled to room temperature, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top.

Step 12

Cut into slices and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
