Deventer Koek – Dutch spice cake (gluten free)
Mar 25th
Mum and I got talking about International Day (a lot of schools get their students to bring in something that relates to their culture) last night and what she should bake to take to work. Since my Mum’s parents are from the Netherlands we started thinking about Dutch options (we decided that there are more exciting Dutch options than Kiwi).

Almond Cake
Dec 13th

Compared to the Vitarium cake this Christmas cake is more moist and has a More >
Recipe: Gluten free version of Not Quite Nigella’s Lumberjack cake with maple butterscotch coconut topping

However up until now I haven’t got around to trying any of her recipes, mostly because I haven’t done much baking up until the last month, and also because I have had trouble re-creating glutenous recipes in the past (e.g. the scones I made last weekend which didn’t rise!).
Though, when I saw this post for Lumberjack cake with maple butterscotch coconut topping I knew I had to make it. I love the flavours More >
