Gluten & Sugar Free, High Protein Lemon Drizzle Traybake
April 10, 2016
I LOVE lemon drizzle cake. My mum used to make it when I was a kid and I’ve adored it ever since. Soft, light sponge with a sweet, tangy glaze was how I remembered it. But what I also remember is the vast amounts of refined white flour, butter and sugar!
This recipe tastes JUST like it should, but doesn’t contain any of the nasties. It uses Sukrin’s incredible low carb Gluten Free Cake Mix which contains sesame flour instead of wheat flour – very clever. The mix contains natural sweeteners as well, so no additional sugar is required.
I also added a boost of protein (of course) in the form of Muscle Mousse which is a casein based protein powder that doesn’t dry the sponge out.
I also replaced the butter with rapeseed oil which is a fantastic form of mono-unsaturated fat – so you could almost say enjoying a few slices is good for your health… Kinda…

Ingredients
95g Sukrin Gluten Free Cake Mix
25g White Chocolate Muscle Mousse (you could sub this for casein or whey but it may dry out the mixture a little)
35ml Rapeseed or coconut oil (melted)
50ml Milk (I used almond milk but you can use any)
For the icing simply mix the juice of half a lemon with 30g of sugar free Sukrin icing, or you can use protein powder. For this I used both.
