Gluten Free Birthday Cake
“Will I get a gluten free birthday cake?” was pretty high on Jamie’s list of concerns, having been disgnosed with celiac disease just a month before his ninth birthday. I spent a few evenings searching the internet for a gluten free birthday cake before deciding to just get on with it! So, first in the series of easy gluten free recipes: a gluten free birthday cake (sponge).
Jamie's Olympic/triathlon themed gluten free birthday cake
When I cook, I like easy gluten free recipes. I seem to spend my life baking at the moment so the quicker the better (even when it comes to birthday cakes)! This is one of the easiest.
Ingredients
- 150g gluten free self raising flour (I like the Dove’s farm brand) - 150g margerine - 150g castor sugar - 1level teaspoon gluten free baking powder - 3 eggs
Grease two sandwich tins with margerine and line with baking paper. Put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix together (preferably with a food mixer) until smooth. Add a splash of milk if necessary. Bake in oven at 190′C (gas mark 5) for about 25 minutes.
When cool, I put jam in the middle of Jamie’s, with gluten free ready-to-roll icing on the top and decorated with (gluten free) writing icing.
He loved it and his friends didn’t even notice it wasn’t ‘normal’ birthday cake. There was none left by the end of the party.
