GLUTEN-FREE LEMON BUNDT CAKE

When spring arrives, I start baking fruit flavored treats. While I’m waiting for the berry season to arrive here in the North, this gluten-free lemon bundt cake gives the perfect fruity vibes for Spring baking season. This delicious bundt cake is also vegan.

Easy-to-make Bundt Cake

What makes this an easy-to-make cake is that it’s a one bowl cake with pretty simple ingredients. The secret to the right moist consistency is having a high-quality gluten-free flour mix to bake with.

I made this recipe last spring as an Instagram collaboration with Virtasalmen Viljatuote, a Finnish gluten-free flour brand, so naturally that is the flour I recommend using.

Viljatuote all-purpose gluten-free flour mix contains a mixture of light flours such as white rice flour, GMO-free corn flour and also some psyllium for better baking results. Because of the psyllium, this flour absorbs a lot of liquid. If you are using another brand of flour, you might need to adjust the amount liquids.
