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…
What’s happening over at your house today?
I quite like playing along with these blog linky things! If you want to play too, head on over to Buttons by LouLou…
I’m folding copious amounts of laundry! The washing monster has gotten way out of control over the weekend, maybe it’s something to do with trying to get the girls to tidy their bedrooms?! Cripes!
And, I’m finishing up delivering AVON order’s for the last campaign! If any of you are interested in getting your hot little hands on the next brochure, just flick me a comment below! :)
