Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Combine gluten-free flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into the pan.
  3. Bake crust for 15-18 minutes until edges are golden.
  4. In a saucepan, combine raspberries and sugar over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes until jam-like, then cool.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, gluten-free flour, lemon juice, and zest until smooth. Pour over the crust.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of raspberry sauce over lemon filling and swirl gently to create a marbled effect.
  7. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until set. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve.
