If you are gluten free (like us), this is a perfect huckleberry cake recipe for you. According to Bojon Gourmet, where I found this wonderful recipe ….
A moist and tender gluten-free pound cake recipe that bursts with tiny huckleberries and fresh lemon verbena, all drizzled with a vanilla bean glaze. Whole grain and gum-free, this cake gets its pillowy texture and sturdy crumb from cream cheese and a happy blend of flours.
