I want to make this Christmas cake for my sister in law, but can only find Gluten Free Plain flour locally - is this what is meant by flour mix? I'm concerned the cake doesnt have any raising agents Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: In reply to message (delete if not applicable): Display heading Security Code:

If you look at the ingredients on the packet of gluten-free plain flour you will find that it lists several different gluten-free flours. In this type of cake the flour is quite a small proportion of the ingredients and a raising agent is not needed, but you could add some gluten-free raising agent if you wish Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: In reply to message (delete if not applicable): Display heading Security Code:
