• 150 g Gluten-free couscous
• 100 g Cane sugar
• 3 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp Gluten free flour mix
• 2 pcs Eggs, whole
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Method

1. Preheat oven to 190°C.
2. Beat the eggs and the sugar in a large mixing bowl briskly for a few minutes, until the sugar dissolves.
3. Then add the olive oil reserving a teaspoon for greasing.
4. Also add yoghurt, cooked couscous, flour, and the baking powder then stir well.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest then mix well until you have a smooth batter.
6. Pour the batter into an oiled baking dish then bake in the preheated oven for about 25–30 minutes, until the cake is golden brown.
