Ingredients
- 200g (7oz) dairy and soya-free margarine
- 200g (7oz) sugar
- 4 free-range eggs
- 175g (6oz) ground almonds
- 250g (9oz) mashed potato
- grated zest of 3 lemons
- 2 tsp gluten-free baking powder
For the drizzle
- 4 tbsp granulated sugar
- juice of 1 lemon
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180℃/Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a deep 20cm (8in) round cake tin. Beat the sugar and margarine together until light and fluffy, then gradually add the egg, beating after each addition. Fold in the almonds, cold mashed potato, lemon zest and baking powder.
- Tip the mixture into the tin, level the top, then bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden and a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack once it has been out of the oven for 10 minutes. Mix the granulated sugar and the lemon juice together, then spoon over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Let the cake cool completely before slicing.
