Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 180°C, fan 160°C. Grease and line a 1kg (2lb) loaf tin with greaseproof paper.
- Sieve the flour and baking powder into a large bowl and mix in the ground almonds and xanthan gum and granulated sugar. Mix in the butter and work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles very fine breadcrumbs.
- Add the lemon zest, eggs, milk and juice of 1 lemon. Mix well until everything is smooth. Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 45-50 mins until well risen and cooked through, testing with a skewer – it should come out clean.
