Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Seed Cake
"Gluten-free cakes tend to get dense and this cake rather has the consistency of a pudding cake, but it is good with some ice cream or whipped cream on top. I like to keep the sugar content of our cakes minimum, but if you like a sweeter cake, please increase the amount of sugar up to a cup.
