Birthday Cakes

Sponge Layer Cake

Make an 8" vanilla sponge cake and an 8" chocolate sponge cake.

Sandwich the two cakes together with a layer of chocolate butter-cream icing.

Extra layers can be added for more variety.

Spread the top of the cake with white icing or butter-cream icing.

Marble Cake

Prepare the basic sponge mixture and divide this into three portions.

Flavour and colour each portion of the mixture separately.

Pour each portion into the same sponge tin and stir very briefly- twice round with the handle of a wooden spoon is enough.

Cook and ice in the usual way.

Variations:

Layer cakes can also be made using Almond sponge cake or Bataclan.

Many children like a good fruit cake for a birthday cake: try the Dundee Cake.

I am looking for a sponge recipe for a Birthday Cake, Gluten Free, wheat free, which would be suitable for icing and decorating.

Any ideas please? I am familiar with the basic Victoria Sponge recipe, but not sure if a 6x6x6 recipe would be suitable for icing. What is recipe for your Marble Cake shown?

I use Juvela Harvest Mix flour or Glutafin White, wheat free.



Many thanks

The following page discusses how to make cakes with gluten-free flour:

I would suggest using the banana sponge cake recipe:

Replace the butter / margarine with 50ml of olive oil. That will give you a cake thatis gluten-free and casein free
(I use olive oil in my baking as I also have to avoid any dairy products
