Gluten Free Cake made in a Breadmaker

Well I've had a new Breadmaker which I will review properly in next weeks What to Buy Wednesday but I think what is great is we've been snowed in the last couple of days allowing me to experiment with it.

I wanted to make some gluten free bread but when I looked at my yeast I had in the cupboard it contained wheat so that wasn't happening. I then thought I'd try the cake program. I wasn't convinced this was going to work and I didn't have any faith in the bread machine at all but how wrong was I?

For a start my recipe was for a gluten free chocolate cake and I didn't have any cocoa powder so I did without it and just baked a simple sponge. I also thought that the programme was too long at around 2 hours to bake a cake, it kept mixing and then going quiet, I kept looking through the window on the top of the machine and saying 'noooooo this is going to be rubbish'. I started to wonder though because as it baked it did smell very cakey.

I got it out and it looked like a cake as well and it blooming tasted like cake too. It was really lovely. I should have more faith in these things and believe!! They wouldn't write the instructions in the book if it wasn't going to work would they? And all I did was take out the cocoa powder - easy peasy. 

I have a Morphy Richards Fastbake Model BM48281 and this is the recipe and method I used taken from the instruction book which is supplied with the machine.

Ingredients

150g unsalted butter
3 medium eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp lemon juice
60ml tepid water
125g caster sugar
250g plain gluten free flour (I used Doves Farm Plain Flour)
3 tsp gluten free baking powder
3 tbsp cocoa powder (if making a chocolate cake)

Method
  1. Melt the butter in a pan over a low heat, cool slightly
  2. Beat the eggs in a jug, add the vanilla extract, lemon juice and water
  3. Place the flour in a mixing bowl and sieve in the baking powder and cocoa powder if using. Make a well in the middle, pour in the egg mixture followed by the melted butter and mix well with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix in the caster sugar too.
  4. Pour into the baking pan
  5. select programme 10 (cake)
  6. After baking, leave the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely 

I'm sure this recipe would work in any Breadmaker really so give it a go. I'm eyeing up a gluten free fruit cake next so I will let you know how I go on.

For now though thanks for reading, let me know how you get on if you do try this recipe and what cakes have you baked in a Breadmaker? 

Join me again tomorrow for Autism Support Saturday but for now take care.
