Celebration Cake Recipe! (Gluten Free)

Being a gluten free family, I am always on the hunt for gluten free cake recipes for all our many birthdays...

This one I stumbled across on the NODO website but I made some changes (as I tend to do!) and first made for my son's Birthday back in March and it was a massive hit. I made it again for one of the NNM team's birthdays later in the year and again, big hit with request to blog it!

Being Naughty Naturopath Mum's (the company) 10th Birthday this month, I decided to make it again because it's a real celebration cake (and every birthday deserves cake right?) so this time I took some pics to get this recipe up on the blog.

This time I used blueberries in the mixture as well as some for decoration and I have also made it with raspberries and with no berries. Each version is delish so go with whatever the mood calls for!

Ingredients

4 free range eggs
150gr full fat greek yoghurt
120gr of coconut oil
1/4 tspn salt
1 tspn of vanilla extract
300gr of GF self raising flour
60 gr almond meal
120 gr coconut sugar
1 punnet of blueberries or raspberries (optional)

Buttercream Icing

250gr softened butter

500gr icing sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

2-3 tbsp of preferred milk

pinch of salt

Method

1. Preheat oven to 170 degrees celsius and grease a round 20cm cake tin

2. Combine wet ingredients in a bowl using a hand mixer or whisk by hand

3. Add dry ingredients and (berries if using them)

4. Mix until just combined

5. Bake for 45 minutes until golden and skewer comes out clean.
Don't worry about any splits of cracks on top as the icing will take care of that!

5. Leave in tin to slightly cool and then turn out onto a wire rack

Buttercream Icing

1. Using an electric mixer or thermomix with butterfly attachment, whisk cut up pieces of butter on high speed until light and fluffy

2. Add your icing sugar slowly, one spoon at a time mixing on medium speed until all combined

3. Add milk, vanilla and salt and mix on high speed for 3 minutes

4. Ice your cake (once it's completely cooled) and there's the option of cutting cake in half to add a layer of buttercream to the middle (up to you!)

5. Decorate the icing with berries and edible flowers or if it's a non-berry cake, decorate with anything you want!
Shaved chocolate, sprinkles, whatever the celebration requires!

Hope you enjoy your next gluten free celebration cake with this recipe! Let me know how you go,
