Oooh, yum!

Just perfect for one person!

Use canola oil, all-purpose gluten-free flour (I use Bob's Red Mill), and a smidgen of xanthan gum, and it does nicely.

Thank you for the tips! Now my wheat-intolerant sweetie can enjoy it as well!

You might try just a smidgen more liquid with the gf flour, too, or slightly less time. Mine came up a little dry. Or perhaps, as I suspect, I have an overly ambitious microwave. It's a very tasty cake, and I thank you for the link.

Hugs back!

I've seen microwaves for only a few bucks in thrift stores. (I just found an almost-new breadmaker for less than $20.)

oh i know it's just a matter of getting things together, like time, and money at the same time, then find a way to get it home,*i ride the city bus all over town*
i'll figure it out at some point. maybe i can convince *yeah right* someone to give me a lift.

I wonder if that would work for lemon cake? Hmm...

How would you do that? Adding lemon juice as part of the liquid and also grated lemon rind? I'll bet desperance would know!
