I don’t recommend freezing this loaf cake, because it might change the consistency.

However, this loaf is the best freshly baked and eaten on the first or second day.

FAQ

How do you know when your lemon bread is done?

Make sure the dairy-free lemon bread is baked fully by sticking a thin wooden stick into the loaf. When the stick comes out clean, the loaf is fully baked. On the other side, if the stick is covered with the batter it will take some more time to bake.

I recommend baking this loaf for about 50 minuter to 1 hour.

Do I need lemon extract?

For this recipe, you don't need lemon extract. Just use fresh lemon juice and it's just perfect.

Should you store lemon drizzle cake in the fridge?

Yes, you should. I highly recommend storing any gluten-free cake in a fridge. This way lasts longer and it will be fresh even the next day.

How can I make my gluten-free lemon cake fluffier?

Here are some tips to make your lemon cake extra fluffy and airy:

1. Add baking powder along with baking soda! This combination will create the best results.
2. Use soy milk. Combined with lemon, it will create almost the same consistency as buttermilk!
3. For the best results sift the flour.
4. Use powdered sugar. It is lighter and smoother.
