lemon layer cake with fresh berries
Moist and delicious gluten-free lemon cake is layered with coconut whipped cream and fresh berries. The perfect dessert to welcome spring!
Spring is my favorite time of year, aside from fall. I love the in-between seasons when the weather’s more mild and I get to bring out my clothes that have been in storage for the last several months. It’s almost like having a new wardrobe. Isn’t it nice to find clothes you forgot you had? 😉
Ingredients
Lemon-Berry Cake
2 cups gluten-free flour (I use Bobs Red Mill Gluten-Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour)
1 cup Super Fine Blanched Almond Flour* (see notes below for substitution)
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup softened butter (can use dairy-free)
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 cup honey or maple syrup (or combo of both)
⅔ cup almond milk or other milk of choice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
zest of 2-3 large lemons, to taste
