Gluten free iced coconut cake

I’m a fan of coconut cake and have wanted to get a recipe for one on the blog for some time. The recipe I’ve gone with is something I popped together as a bit of a trial a few weeks ago and I was delighted with the result.

This gluten free iced coconut cake is quick and easy to make and is the perfect thing to have a go at if you’re new to baking, as all you need to do is pop all the ingredients in a bowl, whisk and bake. And then as is by magic, you will be rewarded with a delicious, soft coconut sponge cake. Yum!

Gluten free banana chocolate muffins

written by Elizabeth Rimmer

If you are reading this, I just want to say “thank you”. As if it wasn’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have given these delicious banana chocolate muffins a go. Whilst I have a long list of great recipes that I’d eventually like to share with you, I’m always on the hunt for new ones too. Because, although I’m a bit of a food traditionalist at heart, I want my blog to be filled with tempting things that appeal to everyone.

Gluten free scrunch

written by Elizabeth Rimmer

If you’ve never had the pleasure of tucking into a golden square of scrunch, you’ve been missing a real treat!

Scrunch is similar in texture to flapjack, with the same familiar flavours going on too. It’s deliciously crunchy, buttery, syrupy and EXTREMELY moreish (you’ve been warned).

Gluten free lemon surprise pudding

written by Elizabeth Rimmer

I’m super excited to be sharing this gluten free lemon surprise pudding with you as it’s a real cracker!

My mum used to make lemon surprise pudding a lot and I always loved it. But it was one of those recipes I’d forgotten about until my sister-in-law, Kate, mentioned that she’d recently made it.

This lemon surprise pudding has everything you’d want from a pud. It has the most gorgeous light sponge topping and beautiful creamy lemon custard base. Which all happens as if by magic, whilst it bakes in the oven.

Gluten free coffee and walnut cake

written by Elizabeth Rimmer

Delighted to share this lovely simple recipe, for a rather delicious gluten free coffee and walnut cake with you. A good old classic, that’s a favourite treat for many.

The original recipe I used for this coffee and walnut cake came from Nigella Lawson’s website and it works splendidly as a gluten free version.

Gluten free coconut tarts

written by Elizabeth Rimmer

Updated 17th February 2022

I’ve only made these coconut tarts once and the day after I made them, I debated about playing around with the recipe. But a quick chat with my best friend (who’d sampled and loved them) convinced me that I needed to stop faffing and just get on and tell you all about them.

These delicate coconut tarts with their buttery pastry base, generous helping of yummy raspberry jam and light (perfect ratio) coconut topping are a delicious treat. An ideal bake to offer up to friends and family with a nice cuppa when they drop by.

Coeliac Disease

How to safely cater for a coeliac/celiac or anybody that requires a gluten free diet: A helpful guide for the catering industry

written by Elizabeth Rimmer

Whilst it’s brilliant that so many eateries safely cater for people with coeliac disease (or anybody that requires a gluten free diet), unfortunately, there are a few that don’t quite get it right. I personally feel the lack of understanding, of how crucial a strict gluten free diet needs to be for people with coeliac disease and the fact that some people choose the diet as a lifestyle option (but are not always committed to the diet) seems to have caused confusion about the true need and meaning of a gluten free diet.

Gluten free raspberry buns

written by Elizabeth Rimmer

My mum used to make raspberry buns a lot when I was younger and they were one of my brother’s favourite things to have for his supper. I do love making things that evoke happy memories of years gone by.

I’ve had a go at rustling up gluten free raspberry buns twice now and I’ve been delighted with how well they turned out. And of course any recipe success stories need to be shared with you too.
