Easy Lemon Cake

This is a recipe from our book Toddler to Table, its a delicious ONE BOWL cake that requires no mixers or fancy equipment, and is a cake we love to whip up for morning or afternoon tea. Its high in protein so a great one to keep little ones (and yourself) satisfied for longer!

It is gluten free and refined sugar free, suitable for 12 months+

This can also be eaten cold, at room temperature or even warmed up is yummy, they all have slightly different textures when eaten differently. Refrigerated is a bit like a crumbly lemon mud cake – YUM.
