Lemon Cake

Lemon Cake

Recipe Details:

This lemon cake has become a favorite of my friends and family. It is the 'go-to' birthday cake, and it rarely lasts a day. No one ever dubs it 'that gluten free cake' or 'that egg free cake' or 'that milk free cake', even though it's all of the above. Don't skip the step of sifting the confectioner's sugar on the glaze, or you will get lumps. Still edible lumps, but not as pretty. If you haven't heard about my HazelCream milk substitute, please check out our video for the super simple instructions. This product is designed to be a one-to-one milk substitute, and it really works!
