This is an amazing cake in my opinion. Heavy and rich like a cheesecake in a way. Hope you enjoy it.

Lemon Chickpea Cake

1 can (19oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

zest of one lemon finely minced

juice of one lemon

4 eggs

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 tsp baking powder

gluten-free icing sugar for garnish (optional)

In a food processor, processs chickpeas with lemon rind and 2Tbs lemon juice until very smooth. Add eggs, sugar and baking powder and process until well blended.

Pour into a 9" greased springform pan and bake in preheated oven (350F) for about 45 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean.

Cool about 15 minutes in pan, slide a knife around to loosen edges then remove sides of pan.

Drizzle with remaining lemon juice and sprinkle with icing sugar.

This cake is delicious served with fresh berries or a sauce or syrup made of berries.

This is a link to a recipe that Jessica posted for a fantastic yellow cake. It can be easily modified to be lemony or whatever you like. It's light and fluffy, and taste exactly like cake should taste (gluten-free or not!).

To make it lemony, add 1/2 tsp lemon extract and finely grated zest of 1 lemon to the wet ingredients and proceed as directed.

This is a good lemon bar cookie. My grandson is celiac disease, but didn't like the lemon flavor, so the rest of us (not celiac disease) ended up enjoying them.

Lemon Cookie Bars

1st layer

1/2 cup shortening

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup potato starch

3/4 cup cornstarch

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum

1/4 cup milk

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In medium bowl, combine all 1st layer ingredients. Mix until forms a soft dough and lumps are removed. Press into bottom of greased 8x8 or 9x9 pan. Bake 20-25 minutes, until top is browned. Set aside.

2nd layer

1 1/4 cups water

1/4 cup lemon juice

2 egg yolks

2/3 cup sugar

4 Tbls. cornstarch

In medium saucepan, combine all 2nd layer ingredients. Mix well and cook over medium heat until mixture thickens. Immediately pour on top of 1st layer. Cool.

Dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!

Have heard good things about the gluten-free Yellow Cake mentioned above although I haven't yet tried it since my grandson is a chocoholic. Had notes from someone that she reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup and added 1 pkg of flavored jello. This should work with lemon jello for a lemon cake. Please let us know if you try it.

      Hi @terrymouse Generally, after a Celiac Seriology Blood Test, if something anomalous shows up, the follow-up will be a Gastroscope. Your Endocrinonogist will be looking to see if you still have (Villi). Villi are Tenticles/Hairs that are prevalent throughout the small intestine; their function is to extract nutrients, vitamins and water. The absense of Villi will typically result in watery bowl movements, other telltale signs being, lethargy, feeling cold, always hungry (valuable nutrients are being bypassed). I was diagnosed 12 years ago. One other thing associated with an AutoImmune Disease, they generally have a companion, in my case I have Hypothyroidism, other may have Hyperthyroidism (Hashimoto's). Others may get Eczema, or some other skin disorder, usually due to not getting the proper nutrition your body needs.   HTH Mark.

      Thank you Knitty Kitty,   I have all the information for the nutritionist sitting in front of me, but I've procrastinated.   Between you and Scott - I'll contact him tomorrow and get started on a better me.   Thank you both for all the support and information.

      Hi, @jeriM, I can attest to Celiac and eye problems being connected!  There's a higher rate of Sjogren's Syndrome in Celiac people than in those without celiac disease.  Sjogren's Syndrome causes dry eyes and can even lead to dry mouth which can alter taste and smell.  Have your doctor check for Sjogren's.  Correct low Vitamin D, which regulates the immune system.  Talk to your nutritionist about including in your diet plenty of Omega Three's. Omega Three's help keep our eyes moist and lubricated.  You know how oil floats on water, same thing with our eyes!  Fun fact:  Our eyes are derived from the same sort of tissues as our digestive tract in a developing fetus. Oh, check your thyroid function, too.  Hashimoto's thyroiditis frequently occurs with Sjogren's. Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster in celiac disease.  I also have Diabetes type two.   Discuss with your nutritionist the benefits of a low histamine diet.  A low histamine diet can help reduce inflammation and gets those inflammation markers down.  I like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that promotes intestinal health. Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Ah, Scott,    Ha ha!  Thats almost a reasonable assumption given the prices during the shortage.  However, our eggs?  We always gave them away to friends and seniors we know, so no mansion here.  Now we have to buy eggs like everyone else.   The house we found, we loved so much that it made it worth it for us to give up the chickens.  A hard decision.
