Some food items are hard to get. This is has made me more aware of what is in my fridge and not letting it go to waste. I had some lemons in my fridge and decided to make Lemon Tumeric Tea Cake**. I had been thinking about it for awhile and on Sunday, I finally did it.
I last made this at Christmas for my work colleagues. The batch was really small and I didn’t get a loaf to try. My boss has been asking about it, so I decided to make some for my work colleagues again. This time I doubled the batch and added a bit more tumeric, so I got to try it. It is delicious and I am thrilled. I also had enough to make a loaf for my mom. The three loaves we are not keeping are going in the mail this week.

are you able to make this gluten free?
Yes, I use a very good flour from Tom Sawyer that has a 1:1 exchange with wheat flour. This recipe worked like a charm. Some recipes require a little xantham gum but not this one. I don’t bake anything that isn’t GF. We don’t even keep non-GF flour in the house. MY DH has some packaged food (bread, cereal, cookies) that are non-GF. Otherwise, everything is GF.
The cake was delicious and SO welcome. A deliteful surprise.
