Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 0.5 cup dairy-free butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup almond milk (or any dairy-free milk)
- 2 pieces zest of lemons
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, mix the melted dairy-free butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, almond milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice, and whisk until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cooling and Glazing
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
- Once completely cool, drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice over the top.
Notes
For best results, measure your gluten-free flour accurately. Oven temperatures can vary, so keep an eye on the loaf to avoid over- or under-baking. Consider adding poppy seeds, a streusel topping, or even mixing in fresh raspberries for a twist.
