Having recently learned that I need to make some changes to my diet, I have been experimenting in the kitchen to find ways to create tasty alternatives to my favorite treats. (Going all natural & organic, I am not eliminating anything but have been told I need to cut back on my intake of gluten & dairy, which let me tell you is one hell of a challenge as a Brit.)
As a Brit I feel it is in my nature to love the taste of a freshly baked loaf of bread with creamy butter, decadent tea cakes, and a fresh jar of lemon curd ready to spread. Still enjoying endless cups of PG tips I was on the hunt for a gluten free, dairy free, preservative free, all natural, organic cake to enjoy along with my tea.
After several kitchen experiments, I eventually found a way to make a moist lemon bundt cake that I can happily munch on (in moderation) whenever I want.
Hope you enjoy!
