Gluten Free Lemon Madeira Cake has a firm yet light texture, eaten with tea or for breakfast. It says tea time in a very English and satisfying way.
This looks very good dusted with icing sugar and decorated with a few strands of lemon zest, but I like mine just the way it is.
I just love to sit down relax and have a nice slice of this Madeira with a nice cuppa.
