Flower Child Olive Oil Lemon Cake
I recently enjoyed this little cupcake with my friend at Flower Child in Boulder. It was amazing. Making it at home was equally as good, or even better. I didn't find evaporated cane sugar, so used organic cane sugar, as well as regular vanilla. I also made it in two 8 " rounds. It is AMAZING!! Like maybe my all time new favorite recipe of the year! I used lemons and zest from my grandma's lemon tree in California. 🍋 I love that's it's gluten free. You would never know! For the cakes: • 3 whole eggs • 1 1/3 cups evaporated cane sugar • 1 1/4 tsp vanilla paste (vanilla extract may also be used; I prefer the richer taste of the paste in this recipe) • 4 tsp lemon zest from about 2 lemons, preferably organic • 3 1/2 tbsp lemon juice freshly juiced and strained • 6 1/2 ounces coconut milk I have used both canned coconut milk and the boxed variety for drinking - both worked • 2 cups gluten-free flour or flour of your choice – I tested with King Arthur GF Measure for M
