One of the things I really missed when I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease was lemon loaf. A friend sent me this recipe last week that she found in the Globe and Mail. It is very close to the "real thing".
You will need:
- 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1/4 cups white sugar
- 2 cups rice flour, less 2 tbsp.
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 4 eggs
- 3 tbsp. lemon juice
- rind of one lemon
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- juice of one lemon
Combine butter or margarine and1 1/4 cup sugar. Beat in eggs. Add in rice flour, salt, baking powder, 3 tbsp. lemon juice and rind.
Pour batter into pan and bake for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Place a piece of parchment paper loosely over the loaf if you are worried about it getting too brown.
Mix 1/3 cup sugar and remainder of of lemon juice. Pour over the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven.
