I am gluten free and love baking. I use the 'Simple' brand of bread mix which is gluten free and available in most supermarkets- its good to refrigerate the cake or muffins so that they don't dry out too fast, and better too to underbake than overbake!!
This recipe is delicious- sourced from the Edmonds 'Food for Flatters', and I have just made a few changes here and there.
Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup ricebran oil
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp mixed spice
3 cups grated carrots
1/2 cup or so of sultanas
1 cup stewed granny smith apple (approx. 2 large apples)
1 tsp of grated lemon or orange rind
pinch of salt
To make:
Beat together eggs and sugar. Add oil. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt.
Combine carrot, apple, sultanas and orange/lemon rind. Fold into the wet mixture. Fold in dry ingredients and pour into greased cake tin. Bake at 180 degrees celsius for about 30-40 mins- but check on it- will be ready when top bounces up and skewer comes out clean.
Allow to cool and spread with cream cheese icing, yummy!
Cream Cheese Icing:
2 tbsp softened butter
1/4 cup cream cheese
1 cup icing sugar
tsp of grated lemon rind
Mix together until there are no lumps and spread on the cooled cake.
