Рецепт Gluten Free Lemon Cornmeal Cake
The May 2015 issue of Martha Stewart Living features two wonderful gluten free recipes that are perfect for Mother’s Day! Today, I’m featuring the first recipe, a dessert for Lemon Cornmeal Cake with extra-virgin olive oil, eggs, and milk that make this Italian-inspired cornmeal cake extra-moist. It's hard to believe that it’s gluten free, too!
If you’re mom is gluten free like my mother-in-law is, I know she’ll love this cake for dessert during her Mother’s Day brunch. Serve it eggs, bacon and you favorite breakfast fixings and make a pitcher of my friend Barbara’s recipe of “Just Peachy” Peach Bellinis.
Or if you wish, wait for coffee to be served along with your Lemon Cornmeal Cake. I know a slice of this gluten free goodie along with a cup of hot tea would be shear bliss, too.
The May 2015 issue is on sale at your local newsstand until May 9th!
