Here’s a simple gluten-free blueberry lemon cake with crumble topping recipe that’s sure to fill that craving. Serve it to guests as a summer dessert, or to have with your afternoon coffee.

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, toss together the blueberries and lemon zest. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, xantham gum and sugar together. Add the melted butter, then eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
  4. Spoon the batter into the pan. Sprinkle the blueberry and lemon mixture over the batter.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, sugar and butter to make the crumble. Mix with your hands until crumble forms, and then sprinkle over the blueberries.
  6. Bake for 55 minutes or until golden on top, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  7. Enjoy!
