Wow, what a fantastic cake mix from Delicious Alchemy , they have produced a very simple and effective way to make a delicious gluten free cake (which fits the bill for me). What a fantastic success, and it was a very simple and easy thing to follow, you can add whatever you like to the mixture (although don't add anything with gluten in it or that sorta defeats the object of the whole gluten free cake!) I will be going back and look forward to meeting the people behind the cake at the Good Food Show in a couple of weeks time.
Instructions are on the packet as followed:
You’ll need
1 x 400g Delicious Alchemy vanilla sponge cake mix
180g of soft unsalted butter or dairy free alternative
3 large eggs
20ml water
180g of soft unsalted butter or dairy free alternative
3 large eggs
20ml water
To bake as a cake
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C for fan-assisted ovens. Grease and line the base of two 20cm (8 inch) round cake tins with greaseproof paper.Put the cake mix, soft butter (or dairy free alternative), eggs and water into a bowl. Beat together with an electric whisk for 15 secs. Stop, scrape down the bowl and mix for a further 10 secs. Divide the mixture between the two tins and spread into an even layer. Bake for 20-25 mins (although I did cook for a little longer, more like 30-35mins 160, I also covering it with tin foil so it didn't brown anymore, this was due to too much bounce in the center of the cake), until lightly golden brown and springy to the touch. Leave to cool in the tins for 5 mins before turning out and leaving to cool completely. Fill and decorate as you like.
The cake turned out delicious, I added chocolate orange segemnts to give it more of a Christmas twist. I then finished it off with chocolate icing in the middle of the sandwich and then also added chocolate drizzle over the top.
