WCW- Gluten Free Lemon Loaf

I have been trying my hand at gluten free baking, and I have come up with a way to use my bounty of lemons at the same time.

This lemon loaf is perfect for those with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity- but everyone who sampled this loaf did't realise it was made with gluten free flour. That is a win in my book!

Here is what is needed to make the lemon loaf. If you do not have lemon oil, feel free to substitute normal vegetable oil and add in one extra lemon.



The batter is so fluffy and yellow, with beautiful chunks of lemon zest shining through.



Out of the oven, it made my entire house smell delicious!



Most of this loaf was gone before I had the change to take a photo, but here you can see the lemon glaze and the light, moist inside.



Totally good with coffee, for 3pm nibbles or even for breakfast!
