This is melt in your mouth stuff! Ground almonds and oil help make this cake moist and the delicate flavour of the pears is complimented brilliantly by cocoa. The cake holds together very well and keeps for a few days (if you can keep the hands off it)! Serves 6-8. …

Chocolate Chip Ginger Cake
A dairy and gluten free cake that is a complete success – we had to stop everyone scoffing the lot immediately! You can shove this together very quickly and it stays moist and delicious for a few days (if you can stop everyone eating it). Ginger and chocolate are, or course, a winning combination!…
Vegan and gluten free Banana Bread
A gluten free and vegan version of this classic tea time favourite. With a deliciously moist and melty texture it doesn’t disappoint. We’ve added walnuts and also chocolate chips for a nice crunch and extra luxury!…
Apple or Pear & Ginger Cake
This is a pudding style cake that is strong with fresh root ginger. The pear version is more moist and the apple version is great for afternoon tea. We used coconut sugar in this recipe, but if you feel it’s too expensive, it would work with date syrup instead. The texture is lovely and satisfying and like a proper cake – it doesn’t taste gluten free at all! If you’re a ginger fiend like us, this is the cake for you….
Gluten Free Coffee Cake
Coffee cake is Laura’s favourite and as it was her birthday last week, Helen devised this spectacular tasting (and looking) coffee cake for the occasion. Yes, it definitely has more agave / fructose than we might normally use, but we all need a little extra sweetness on our birthdays! A proper coffee hit and a cake that is entirely undetectable as gluten free – that’s something to celebrate!…
Anna’s Buckwheat & Orange Cake
This is a gluten free version of Laura’s boyfriend’s mum, Anna’s recipe – it’s Greek. It’s a fantastic gluten free buckwheat sponge – it rises and has a lovely texture! Laura added the glaze and a little orange juice to give a shiny top, but it’s totally gorgeous without it. The cake is big enough to be cut in half and filled with jam or fruit if you want but it’s lovely just as it is in our opinion. Thanks Anna!…
Pumpkin Date Nut Loaf Cake
This cake is very healthy as a large proportion of it is made with pumpkin. We love this with a wee cup of coffee in the morning. It retains its moist texture for a few days (if it lasts that long) and is very melty. …
Prune Date Fig and Cherry Cake
A cake that’s perfect for tea time – or even as a gluten free alternative to Christmas cake! The cake is very moist and rich in fruit, so has a lovely flavour and is satisfyingly moreish . If using coconut oil you will detect a subtle coconut flavour, so if this isn’t to your taste you should opt for the butter or vegan marg if you want a dairy free version. …
