This family has a sweet tooth! We love them all! Cakes, cookies, muffins, cupcakes, brownies, candy, and on and on and on. You name it, we probably love it. One of our family favorites is my Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake Recipe.

We have been converting some of our favorite dessert recipes to be gluten free. It works out better for our health and for Henry’s autism.

One of my favorite flavors in my desserts is hands down, lemon. I love the juxtaposition of sweet and tart. So, one of the first recipes I converted to gluten free was my lemon pound cake recipe.

The Right Flour Is Key

Gluten is one of the things that makes your baked goods so light and fluffy. The trick when you are making a gluten free recipe is to not make a hockey puck.

Using a flour is key to a delicious gluten free dessert. My favorite gluten free flour is the Gluten Free All Purpose Flour from King Arthur’s.

A Recipe That Will Satisfy Any Sweet Tooth

The kids love this recipe. It is so light and fluffy! and moist. My husband will have his with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. I like mine as it is. Any way you slice it, this recipe

will please any sweet tooth! Another lemony dessert I love to make is my No Bake Lemon Cheesecake Bars. So good!
