GF Organic Lemon Bundt Cake


For my husband's birthday I surprised him by making another one of his favorite's: Lemon Cake. Even though he does not have a gluten intolerance or Celiac disease (like myself) he greatly appreciates the love and care I put into making healthy delicious desserts and he always says, "you would never know this was gluten-free!"

I love being able to make desserts using organic, unrefined, and unprocessed ingredients so that we can celebrate good times with good healthy food. It is so important to splurge and treat yourself during special occasions but it is more important to enjoy homemade treats that are not made from refined sugar and flour and do not contain harmful ingredients (additives, preservatives, hormones, antibiotics, pesticides) that cause and worsen any illness and/or chronic disease.

Just remember when you have your next sweet tooth; anything you make with whole ingredients will be far more satisfying for your taste buds and even better for your health!

Enjoy this one, I have so much more to share.
