Gluten free marmalade cake
This gluten free marmalade cake recipe is super sweet and sticky, the perfect coeliac-friendly, gluten free cake to enjoy with a cup of tea.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 175 g caster sugar
- 175 g unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 150 g buttermilk
- 3 large eggs
- 200 g self raising gluten free flour
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 175 g marmalade
For the topping:
- 2 tbsp marmalade
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- 4 tsp orange juice (or water)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180'C / Gas 4 and grease and line a 2lb loaf tin.
- Add the butter and sugar to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric whisk until pale and smooth. Then add the eggs, buttermilk and marmalade and mix again for 1 minute. Don't worry if it separates - the flour will fix this!
- Next sift in the flour, baking powder and xanthan gum and beat again with the electric mixer until fully combined and forms a smooth batter. Pour into the baking tin and bake in the centre of the oven for one hour to one hour and 10 minutes. It's done when a skewer comes out of the centre clean.
- Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Spread the marmalade over the hot cake and leave to cool completely. Once cooled, make the icing by mixing the icing sugar and orange juice to form a thick paste. Pour over the cake and leave to set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Will keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container. This cake can also be frozen before icing.
