saracook31 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Sorry if this has been put on before.. but was told about this at our allotment open day on sunday.. its absolutely gorgeous!! I love lemon drizzle cake, so was always a hard thing to resist even though wheat makes me ill, this will save it happening again! 200g butter - softened 200g caster sugar 4 eggs 175g ground almonds 250g mashed potato zest of 3 lemons 2 tsp gluten free baking powder 1. Heat oven to 180C (160C with fan). Butter and line a deep round cake tin 2. Beat suger and butter together until fluffy, then gradually add eggs beating each time 3. Fold in almonds, cold mash, lemon zest and baking powder 4. Tip into tin, level top and bake for 40-45mins, turn onto a wire rack after 10 mins cooling For the drizzle: 4 tbsp granulated sugar juice of 1 lemon 1. Mix the sugar and lemon together 2. Pour over the cake, letting it drizzle down the sides. ** If you need to make it nut free, just swap the almonds for wheat free flour ** Enjoy.. I certainly did!! (By the way you really can not tell its made with potato, you may have to try it to believe it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Thanks for this I have used gluten free flour with an ordinary recipe before but it doesn't taste quite the same I'll give this one a go Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I saw them making a cake from mashed potato on HFW's tv programme, it may have been a lemon drizzle one but i'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Sounds interesting, does it freeze....a friend is diabetic and coeliac, so if mum made it, she'd have to freeze it in slices for portion control !! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
