Hi All
I imagine this may have already been asked but I was wondering if anyone had any recipes for cakes or sweet things for someone who is wheat and dairy intolerant. I would prefer it to be a cake of some form as they are more mobile as it were (ie I can take it in to work)
One of the trustees at the charity I work for can't have either of these and I absolutely LOVE him so I wanted to make him something yummy (I am going through a domestic phase, don't worry it won't last!) I made some rock cakes (cos they are easy and yummy) the other day for a colleague who's birthday it was and poor Ed had to sit and watch everyone eating them and I feel terrible (although silly man, fancy being wheat AND dairy intolerant! Its just bad planning!) so I have made some for him specially with gluten free flour and dairy free margarine and to be honest they are a bit gross. Still edible but not nearly as nice as the originals (having said that Eddie didn't have any of the 'real' ones so he won't know but I do!)
So does anyone know of any good things to make (and easy please) or does anyone have a preference for the flour or what have you? I used Dove Farm self-raising wheat free flour and Pure (brand name) sunflower margarine (ugh I hate marge!) and I wonder if either of these may have been the reason/could be improved upon? I was also lazy and didn't make the flour and butter into breadcrumbs first, I cheated and creamed the sugar and butter then added the egg flour and raisins and I wonder if that makes a difference? Are there any master (or mistress) bakers out there who can tell me?
Sorry it is so long winded but I thought you should all know the FULL story! Lol!
Thanks in advance for any help and for not being bored to tears and managing to get this far!
Love you all!
