Gluten Free Lemon & Blueberry Cake - Real Recipes from Mums

Make your taste buds dance with this deliciously tangy Lemon & Blueberry Cake. Very simple to make, and is lovely and moist.

Ingredients (makes 1 cake)

Rice flour to dust
170g Butter, softened
2/3 cup Caster sugar
1 TBS Lemon rind, finely grated
2 Eggs
1 3/4 cups Gluten free SR flour
2/3 cup Greek yoghurt
125g Fresh or frozen Blueberries
LEMON SYRUP
2 TBS Lemon zest
1/4 cup Lemon juice
1/2 cup Sugar
3/4 cup Water

Method

Preheat oven to 180C. Grease a 20cm ring pan. Dust with rice flour.
Use an electric mixer to beat the butter, sugar and lemon rind in a bowl until pale and creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
Fold in the flour, yoghurt and blueberries until combined. Spoon into prepared pan and smooth the surface. (It's a thick batter not runny)
Bake for 40-45 mins or until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean. Set aside for 10 mins to cool slightly before turning onto a wire rack.
Meanwhile, to make the lemon syrup, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar and water in a saucepan over low heat.
Cook, stirring for 5 mins or until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium. Bring to the boil. Cook, for 5 mins or until syrup thickens. Place the warm cake on a serving platter with a lip. Carefully pour the hot syrup over the cake

Notes

Keep in an airtight container for up to 4 days

Yoghurt is great in cakes, nice flavour combo, and gluten free is a bonus.
