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.
Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake
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!

Nicole B says
September 17, 2015 at 6:22 pmWow, this doesn’t look like what I would think of when I think “gluten free”. It can be so hard to make gluten free stuff that actually tastes good. The Lemon pound cake looks delicious.
NORAH says

tess says
September 17, 2015 at 9:08 pmThis looks wonderful! Do you have to use gum?
Toni | BoulderLocavore says
September 17, 2015 at 9:31 pmMy kids and I have been gluten-free for 10 years now due to medical need and thank goodness much has changed during that time. King Arthur is one of my favorite blends too. I like the flavor (or lack of distinct flavor) and it bakes very much like regular flour. Since gluten is a binder it is what holds everything together hence usually needing multiple flours to produce the ability to bind baked goods together as wheat flour can. You’ve found a good blend and I like that it doesn’t have any gums in it.
Amber NElson says
September 17, 2015 at 10:02 pmI need to make me some cake! This looks great and gluten free!
Elizabeth O. says
September 17, 2015 at 11:02 pmI buy something like this at a bakery nearby and have it with coffee during the afternoon. Well, at least from time to time. Thanks for the recipe, because I’ve been dreaming of doing this for myself so I can eat it any time I want. Lol.
