Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Blend garbanzo beans, sugar, egg yolks, lemon zest, 1/2 lemon juice, lemon juice concentrate, orange extract, and vanilla extract together in a food processor until smooth. Stir baking powder into bean mixture.
- Whip egg whites together in a bowl using an electric mixer or a whisk until stiff. Fold bean mixture into egg whites. Gently pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes, then carefully run a knife along the bottom of the pan to release cake and turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cake finishes cooling, heat sugar, margarine, lemon juice concentrate, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat until fully combined, about 2 minutes. Drizzle glaze over cooled cake.

LEMON LAYER CAKE (GLUTEN FREE)
Published in Gourmet magazine, November 2005. Use Recipe #208712 for the brown-rice flour mix. "If any cake could be called refreshing, this would be the one. Rich but light, it loses absolutely nothing from the absence of white flour."

Steps:
- Make cake layers:.
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F Brush cake pans with canola oil. Line bottoms of two 9-inch round cake pans with a round of parchment or wax paper, then oil paper.
- Whisk together flour mix, salt, baking powder, and xanthan gum until combined well. Stir together milk, canola oil (1 cup), vanilla, and zest in another bowl.
- Beat together sugar and eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed just until combined, about 1 minute. Reduce speed to low and add flour and milk mixtures alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture and mixing until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly between cake pans, smoothing tops, and bake until a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center of each cake layer comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Cool cake layers in pans on racks 10 minutes. Run a thin knife around edge of 1 cake layer and invert rack over cake pan, then invert cake onto rack. Repeat with second layer. Peel off paper and cool layers completely.
- Make curd:.
- Whisk together zest, lemon juice, sugar, yolks, a pinch of salt, and guar gum in a 1-quart heavy saucepan. Add butter and cook over moderately low heat, whisking constantly, until curd is thick enough to hold marks of whisk and first bubbles appear on surface, about 5 minutes. Whisk in extract. Immediately pour curd into a bowl, then cover surface with wax paper and chill until cold, about 30 minutes.
- Make frosting:.
- Beat butter with an electric mixer at high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Reduce speed to low and add confectioners sugar, lemon juice, extract, and zest, then mix until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Frost cake:.
- Halve each cake layer horizontally using a long serrated knife. Spread bottom half of each cake layer with half of lemon curd, then top with remaining cake layers to form two sandwiched cakes. Put 1 sandwiched cake on a cake stand or platter and spread a heaping 1/2 cup frosting over top, then cover with remaining sandwiched cake. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting.
- Cooks' notes:.
- Cake layers can be made (but not halved) 1 day ahead and cooled completely, then kept, wrapped well in plastic wrap, at room temperature.
- Lemon curd can be chilled up to 3 days.
- Cake can be completely assembled and frosted 4 hours ahead and kept at room temperature, or 1 day ahead and chilled, loosely covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
