Gluten free products are becoming much more widely available, however, it hasn't always been that way. Having a mum that can't eat gluten, it's always been a bit rubbish for her not being able to eat what the rest of my family are eating, especially not being able to eat a birthday cake on her own birthday. So, a few years ago I looked into gluten free recipes and did a lot of baking and through trial and error, I managed to get a recipe together that made an amazing cake. I think my family would agree with me when I say I now think a gluten free Victoria sandwich is nicer than your usual one.
- Ingredients -
Main Cake
8oz Caster Sugar
8oz Butter
4 Eggs
8oz Gluten Free Plain Flour
2 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1tsp Vanilla Essence
Filling
1 tbsp of Butter
Icing Sugar (also for dusting)
Raspberry Jam (can use strawberry my family just prefer raspberry)
(I don't have exact measurements for the filling as I just start with a spoonful of butter and add icing sugar until I have a nice white bowl of icing - it's up to you and how you like your icing)
Tip - You may find that when you whisk the icing sugar it makes a MASSIVE mess, if you stir in a small drop of water it will reduce this
