Gluten-free Lemon Drizzle Cake

Gluten-free lemon drizzle cake step-by-step recipe with photos.

This perfectly moist, delicate, and delicious lemon drizzle cake is the best tangy-sweet thing you will bake.  And the best part of the cake – a surprise ingredient which you can never guess until you read the recipe. The main ingredient of the cake is the potato! Yes. You read it right! Potato!!

Potato adds a wonderful moistness and at the same time, lightness to the cake yet does not overpower the main lemony flavour.  I have used almond meal instead of plain flour to make this gluten-free. The lemon drizzle poured on top is a perfect balance of sweet-tangy flavours.

Bake this cake and surprise everyone with a delicious cake with a secret ingredient 😉
