Gluten-free Lemon Cake
Pane-Bistecca
A gluten-free lemon cake is just as good as a “normal” lemon cake! You hardly notice any difference! The important thing is to make lots of lemon drizzle and soak the cake well. Then it is incredibly good!
It keeps very well for a few days!

For the icing, mix the lemon juice with the powdered sugar very well. Then slowly pour over the cake. I do this by pouring again every 5 minutes, letting it soak in, then pouring again.
