  • 1 cup (120g) gluten-free flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 Tbsp (8g) cornstarch
  • 2 tsp (10g) baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted organic grass-fed butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • Zest of 1 small lemon
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350/177C convection (or 325F/162C conventional). and grease and line a 9-inch cake pan with baking spray and/or parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl whisk together the almond flour, gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
    1 cup (100g) almond flour spooned and leveled, 1 cup (120g) gluten-free flour spooned and leveled, 1 Tbsp (8g) cornstarch, 2 tsp (10g) baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt
  3. In a large bowl, use a hand or a stand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar. Add the lemon zest, almond extract and vanilla extract and beat until it's smooth.
