Cake

Posted by

IYes, I know we shouldn't but I have an English recipe for fruit cake that converted very well to being made without flour for a friend of mine who wanted a christmas cake. It is alcoholic but not dry, although I suspect you could substitute apple juice for sherry. The original recipe was for Huntsman's Cake from Elisabeth Aynton English Provincial Cooking. Its not a cheap cake but for a one off is great. It freezes well and I usually slice it before freezing but it can be cut when frozen, the alcohol stops it freezing hard. I suspect that it would work well using just dried apples and pears and apple juice or cider. 1/4 lb. (120 g) butter 1/4 lb. (120 g) castor sugar 4 eggs, separated 1/2 lb. (240 g) self raising flour ) used instead 3/4 lb ground almonds and 1/4 lb. (120 g) ground almonds ) cornflour or rice flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 lb. (120 g) currants ) used combination of dried fruits, dates, 1/4 lb ((120 g) candied mixed peel ) apples, pears, apricots, 1/2 lb (240 g) weight 2 oz. (60 g) glace cherries 2 ox (60 g) shredded almonds 8 fl.oz. (2.4 dl) sherry 1 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate 1 tablespoon vinegar. ) I use cider vinegar Cream the butter and the sugar. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well in. Add the flour, ground almonds, salt, currants, peel, cherries and almonds gradually, then pour in half the sherry. Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites, and finally the sodium bicarbonate dissolved in the vinegar. Put the cake mixture into a greased and papered tin and cover with a piece of greaseproof paper. Place in a hot oven, 425 degrees F, 220 degrees C, gas mark 7. After 10 minutes lower the heat to 325 degrees F, 170 degrees C, Gas Mark 3, and bake for 2 hours. When cooked and still very hot, pour over the remaining sherry, by spoonfuls, and leave the cake in the tin, covered with a cloth, until it is quite cold Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

Wedding Cake HELP

Posted by

I have been gluten free for 8 years, and I just got engaged. My biggest dilemma with planning this wedding is what to do about the wedding cake? I went to a local food fair of all GF products and located a bakery that does gluten free cakes, my problem - don't remember who they were, where they are at, etc. I contacted my local chapter but I'm not sure if they can help me. I'm in the 'middle' age category where you don't see many people diagnosed with this disease (i was 25 when I was diagnosed). Has anyone had to deal with this?? My first thought was to have an Ice Cream Wedding Cake made, but I'm not sure how it will hold up. Any suggestions???????? Thanks Janet Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

Re: Wedding Cake HELP

Posted by Peter

Gluten-free recipes for rich fruit cake using half rice flour and half fine maize flour are almost indistinguishable from those made using wheat flour. I had a tiered cake, and made the top tier myself - gluten-free, the rest of the cake was ordinary wedding cake for guests made by a friend. Make sure the person serving the cake knows to cut your slice from the top tier and then keep it safe for you for later.

Re: Wedding Cake HELP

Janet, I completely and totally understand how you feel. I am in the process of trying to figure out what to do about a cake myself. What have you decided to do? I know that a lot of times you freeze the cake before you ice it. My Mom and I are thinking we may need to order a mix (like Dowd and Rogers or something) and make the cake a month ahead of time, then have a baker come over to my house and decorate it - so I do not have to worry about cross contamination. Any input you may have might be helpful. Thanks Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

Re: Wedding Cake HELP

Posted by Malka

Janet- As a wedding cake is a special order, you might consider finding a Kosher bakery and asking if they can make you a non-gebrots passover wedding cake. On passover, Jews can't eat anything make from wheat, barley, rye, oats or spelt(those grains are called mezonos) or any other gluten-containing grain, except for matzah. Some passover cakes are made with ground up matzah (which of course contains gluten). But there are some Jews who won't even eat things made with this matzah meal so they make "non-gebrots" baked goods which are totally free of mezonos and consequently, gluten-free. Depending on the bakery (whether it's Ashkenazic or Sephardic) it may also be corn free and rice free. And they also know exactly how to make a dairy free (paerve) cake if caisen is a consern for you as well. Everything is watched really closely, as contamination is a religious concern (they have seperate equipment for passover cakes that never touches mezonos). So after this lengthy explaination, another option for you if you can't find a gluten-free bakery is to get a non-gebrots passover cake from a kosher bakery. Good luck and congratulations Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

I am delighted to have found this recipe. It was a desperate search for a fruit cake recipe, with little success - until I saw this. Thank you, I am going to try baking it later today.

Wedding Cake ReSOLVED! Just wanted to give you an update (although late as it is) . My wedding was August 23 of 2003 and I had the top layer of my cake specialty made by a local baker which was gluten free. They were familiar with this condition (which shocked me) and were very very helpful. The bottom 2 layers were 'normal' wheat flour cakes, and the top layer was my special cake. No one knew but my family and the groom about the special cake. We cut into the top layer as our 'first piece' feed eachother, etc. and my husband even ate it - he liked it! Basically it was just a flourless cake they made. It was a little crumbly but it worked out wonderfully! The top layer was then packaged up for us to take home and the bottom 2 were sliced for the guests. I live in the western suburbs of Chicago and the baker was in another suburb of Chicago. If anyone is in the vacinity and would like their information, please contact me indivudally at jbrads@acehardware.com and I'll be happy to supply you with their information. Thanks for all your help and thoughts. Janet Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

br /> The easiest way would be to find a health food store to purchase a pre-packaged gluten-free cake mix.

I loathe the thought of packet mixes as they are always so processed. The following is a delicious cake and no-one realised at my son's birthday that it is gluten free. It is also quite a firm cake and therefore easy to carve if you wish to shape the cake into a novelty cake. 8 oz butter 8 oz caster sugar 8oz grated chocolate 4oz ground almonds 4 oz rice flour ( or plain flour if you don't need to be gluten free) 6 eggs (separated) beat the butter and sugar to a cream and beat in the chocolate which has been gently melted. Add beaten egg yolks the flour and almonds. lastly fold in the whisked egg whited. Pour into a large round tin or two sandwich tins and bake in a moderate oven for 40 ish minutes or longer if in one tin.

Re: Wedding Cake HELP

I am too searching for a gluten-free cake. My aunt suggested that I make a "normal" wheat cake perhaps a slab cake or similar for our guests and that I make a cheesecake for myself and a few other guests that can not have gluten flour. Her comment was that as long as it had no crust or a crust of rice cookies vs the normal crust that it would be a nice change. She has celiac disease & i am allergic to wheat plus there is at least one other guest that will be able to eat gluten free product as well. And she also suggested to serve the cake later so its not a huge focal piece and that way the majority of guests won't really be that focused on the "event" of the cake. More that they just snack on it between dances & drinks. Our wedding is June 4/05 in Nova scotia, small town & not very ethnic so finding an alternative baker will be justifiably difficult. That's why the cheesecake idea may actually work in my situation. Just a thought--good luck & please consider posting whatever you decide--I'd love to see what your solution was Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

Re Wedding Cake HELP

Posted by Barbara Sealey

Hi, I noticed that you had all been discussing gluten free wedding cakes on this website. Although a little late (i.e 2 years down the line) that I have found your comments I thought I would just add a little note incase anybody searches for the same problem and finds this. As a coeliac and dairy intolerant woman for the last 30 years I can make a gluten free and/or dairy free fruit cake for your wedding. I live in the West Midlands in the U.K and would be able to drop it off within a 20-30 mile radius of Walsall. If anybody is ever interested please feel free to contact me via email - handbaggirlie -at- aol.com - I can also make other cakes and party food (and I dont charge the earth, just understand how difficult it is to find this kind of food!!)

The plan for my wedding in June... I'm working with Polly's Cakes to create a safe solution for me. The main cake will be 'normal' but will be cut and frosted to look as if a piece of the cake has been cut out. Then my gluten cake will be cut and frosted to look as if it's that piece. My cake never touches the other cake, but it still fits in - I don't have to be the weird one who has a special cake (I don't know why that idea bothered me so much, but I've found celiac really brings out the neurosis in me). Polly's Cakes does mail order, so this could be an option for anyone. www.pollyscakes.com Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

I was experimenting with my usual carrot cake recipe (Jamie Oliver's) and found that it was equally good substituting the plain flour with a gluten free sponge flour. I am aware that this does not always work, but it does for this recipe. 285 g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing 285 g light brown soft sugar 5 large free range or organic eggs, separated grated zest and juice of 1 orange 170 g SF flour or Gluten free sponge flour 1 slightly heaped tsp baking powder 115 g ground almonds 115 g shelled walnuts, chopped, plus extra to decorate 1 tsp heaped ground cinnamon pinch of ground cloves pinch of ground nutmeg � tsp ground ginger 285 g carrots, coarsely grated pinch of sea salt Icing: 225 g full fat cream cheese 85 g icing sugar grated zest and juice of 1 orange. Preheat oven to 180� C. Grease a 22cm square cake tin or 24.5cm round tin and line with baking paper. Beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. (I use the Kenwood). Beat in the egg yolks, 1 at a time, and add the orange zest and juice. Stir in the sifted flour and baking powder, then add the almonds, walnuts, spices and carrots and mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of sea salt until stiff, then gently fold into the cake mixture, Scoop the mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake for about 50 minutes or until golden and risen. Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn on to a rack and leave for at least an hour.. For the icing mix together cream cheese (I use Philadelphia) and icing sugar and orange juice to taste. Decorate with chopped walnuts. In addition to the above Jamie Oliver adds 115 g mascarponi and the grated rind and juice of two limes instead of the juice and rind of one orange.

I am allergic to dairy, wheat, chocolate, potato (so no potato flour to replace the wheat) and can't stand dried fruit. I am getting married next year and for once in my life, everybody else is going to have to eat what I am eating rather than me have to have something which has half the ingredients missing! Planning the rest of the menu is fine, but I am really struggling with finding a cake.

I'm getting married next fall, and I live in Montreal. I was thinking of having an "opera" cake which is a gluten-free, very dense cake. However, I love baking and i am quite skilled at it. I was thinking of making my own gf-cake, are there any tips anyone can give me on making a GF-wedding cake.

Cake	Posted by mungo bisset

I'm finding it difficult to understand the optional dry ingredients to self-raising flour. Can you specify the quantities of ground almonds and rice flour or cornflour. Bisset Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

Glutenfree Cakes andbuns

Posted by Annette MacLennan

GLUTEN FREE FAIRY/BUTTERFLY CAKES Ingredients: 100g butter/spread 100g caster sugar 2 eggs separated 100g Doves Farm Gluten & Wheat Free Self-raising flour 1 tablespoon of lemon juice 1 tablespoon of boiling water Method: Pre-heat the oven to 180C/355F (fan oven 160C/310F) or Gas Mark 4. Cream the butter and sugar together with a folk, add the egg yolks (keeping the egg whites in a separate bowl for whisking later) then slowly add all the flour bit by bit mixing well with a wooden spoon, mixture will feel quite stiff. Now add the tablespoon (or splash) of boiling water and the lemon juice, this will soften the mixture Meanwhile, now whisk up the egg whites until mixture will stand in peaks,and add egg mixture to cake mixture and mix in well. Place approx. 15 baking cases on a bun oven tray, putting approx. a dessertspoon of cake mixture in each baking case. Place cakes in pre-heated oven for 15 � 20 mins until golden. Place cakes on a rack to cool. Cakes are tasty and can be eaten plain or for butterfly cakes Please note that this is the first time I have measured the ingredients, you may want to use a little less sugar or add another egg to make them lighter. I haven�t tried to make a Victoria sandwich cake yet. I got the idea for this recipe from an old magazine for a normal coffee & walnut cake, where they whisked the egg whites separate. ________________________________________________________________ RECIPE FOR GLUTEN FREE MOUTH MELTING SCOTTISH BUTTER SHORTBREAD Ingredients; Gluten-free Flour - 4 ounces/113g (I use Doves Farm Gluten free plain flour but I am told Glutafin Pastry works well as it has less raising agents). Butter (softened) 6 ounces/170g Cornflour - 2 ounces /57g Icing sugar - 2 ounces/57g Caster sugar for dusting. Method: Pre-heat the oven to 180C/355F (fan oven 160C/310F) or Gas Mark 4. Cream together the butter and sugar until nice and fluffy add the cornflour then finally the gluten free flour.. Mix together then finally kneed with your fingers until mixture comes away from the bowl� Half the mixture in two and kneed onto 2 lightly greased round cake tins using your knuckles to spread shortbread mixture out� leave about a centimetre from the edge of tins to let shortbread expand,,, use your thumb and for-finger to make shortbread petticoat edge, prick all over with a fork to let the air out and put in oven and bake until golden Once out the oven, leave for a few minutes to cool, then cut/mark with a knife then sprinkle the shortbread with caster suger.. don�t leave to cool for too long before cutting or shortbread will just crumble!!! To get them off cake tins, turn onto a clean dish towel upside down, in your other hand hold a couple of pieces of doubled up kitchen roll to swap shortbread onto, place both pettiecoat tails on a wire rack to cool And enjoy :o) These 2 recipies I made for my late mother who had celiacs disease, I stood in a supermarket Q with her one day and they couldn't find a code for 6 tiny wee muffins, mum needed to go to the ladies room so we could not wait.. so next day I baked from my heart and it worked...
