\"\"Spring is always near when I find myself using a lot of lemon in the kitchen.\u00a0 Anything yellow or lemon-shaped catches my eye. Any recipe that has lemon on the ingredients list looks very appealing to me. I figure the freshness and zyng speaks to me. Or maybe it’s just the New Year that has really kick-started for me this year. I am full of energy, plans, dreams, projects.<\/div>\n

About a year ago, I baked some really nice Lemon Zucchini Muffins. They were so good that I even took pictures of them. I stacked them away into my recipe drafts archive, to be used on rainy days. For some reason I never go to post the recipe. When I dug it out again a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to make them gluten free, as the original recipe used whole wheat or spelt flour.<\/p>\n

You may have noticed that I am not big into the traditional GF flour mixes. Most of the flours used have a very high glycemic index which I prefer not to have in my diet. I got stuck with buckwheat flour and almond meal and had a few baking successes with them.<\/p>\n

I played around a bit with the proportions of buckwheat flour and almond meal and found a 50:50 proportion brought the moistest result. The only difference to glutenous flours is that the GF-free version doesn’t rise as much. Therefore the change from muffins to bundt cake. Now here is the final result, finally published and shared with the world: my gluten-free lemon zucchini bundt cake. Full of goodness and with that invigorating zyng of the lemons.
