Hello, gluten-free!!! Friend and partner in crime Meaghan of "The Green Crocodile" called me up and asked if I did gluten-free... Haven't tried it, but I'm willing to give anything a try! She wanted a gluten-free version of our Lavender Cake for a relative's birthday. I did some research and found out how much I DIDN'T know about gluten. Through the research, I discovered that some minor substitutions and a few tweaks of the recipe introduced us to the wonderful world of gluten-free. Instead of standard wheat based flour, we used a combination of gluten-free blend and almond flours. A little more liquid and a little less dry and we were in business. But, talk about a dense cake! It was beautiful!
I added a lemon curd filling and covered it with a honey cream cheese frosting. I then garnished with lavender buds and petit purple drop flowers. It apparently was such a hit, I was asked to do another. : )
