Method

  • Preheat oven to 180 deg cel, gas 4.
  • Grease two sandwich tins, 18cm/7 '', and dust with rice flour, then line the tins with greaseproof paper.
  • Cream the butter, gradually add the sugar and beat until pale, light and soft.
  • Add the eggs one at a time beating well between each addition.
  • The butter and sugar must be creamed properly, as adding the eggs too fast will cause the mixture to curdle resulting in the cake having a heavier texture.
  • Sift the rice flour, baking powder, ground almonds and xanthan gum together and stir in gradually.
  • Mix all together lightly and add the milk to moisten.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between the tins and make a slight hollow in the centre.
  • Bake for about 20-25 mins or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • Turn the cakes onto a wire rack and leave to cool.
  • Sandwich the cakes together with the filling, dust with sifted icing sugar.
  • You can vary the filling to suit your taste.
