Gluten-Free All-Day Lemon Cake (With A Choice Of Two Toppings) Recipe

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 1 1/4 cups (5 ounces) brown or white rice flour
• 3/4 cup (6 ounces) granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup (1 ounce) tapioca starch
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon table salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest from 2 to 3 lemons
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons zest and 6 tablespoons fresh juice from about 4 to 6 lemons
• 1 1/3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
• 2 tablespoons fresh juice from 1 lemon

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In large mixing bowl, whisk together rice flour, granulated sugar, tapioca starch, baking powder, and salt. In a measuring cup or a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and lemon zest. Pour buttermilk mixture over dry ingredients. Whisk in vegetable oil and eggs until smooth.
3. Pour batter into prepared cake pan. Bake until a cake tester inserted into center of cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, if making the Simple-Syrup Glaze, combine granulated sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring gently until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to low and cook syrup until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. While cake is still warm, poke it all over with a fork. Brush top of cake with syrup and allow to absorb fully, about 5 minutes. Repeat until all syrup is absorbed.
6. If making Powdered Sugar Glaze, allow cake to cool completely. In small bowl, combine powdered sugar and lemon juice. Stir with a fork until smooth. Icing should be thick but spreadable; if the icing is too thick, add a little more lemon juice. Spread icing on cake and allow to set for 15 minutes before serving.
7. Store cake, covered, on the counter for up to 3 days.
