At My House

I’m currently baking a birthday cake for my newly two digit daughter who is 10 today!

Because she is gluten and dairy free, this is a very special chocolate cake, recipe below:

Bree’s Chocolate Cake

125gm margarine (dairy-free)
2 rounded tablespoons golden syrup
2 eggs
2 cups gluten free flour (I use Healtheries Baking Mix)
2 Tbsp cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp mixed spice (optional – but gives the cake a kick in flavour!)
1 cup sugar
1 400ml tin of coconut cream

1. Put the margarine and golden syrup in a microwave dish and heat until the margarine has melted.  Stir to combine the two.

2. Put everything else in the food processor, with the eggs first and the coconut cream last.  Mix in brief bursts, then add the golden syrup and margarine mixture and process for two 30-second bursts, scraping down the sides of the food processor after each burst.

3. Bake in two 20cm round tins for 25 minutes at 180 degrees Celcius, or until the centre springs back and a skewer in the centre comes out clean.  Eat within 3 days.  I made this one in one large tin, so it will take a wee bit longer to cook…
