Hi, sorry, it seems that part of the method was not showing on the website! We have added the missing bit. Please also note that the picture shown uses standard rolled icing, but the topping in the recipe works just as well.
Re: Gluten Free Christmas Cake
In a review of this cake someone wrote the cake time & heat seemed high and that the cake was overcooked I find with fruit cakes using wheatfree flour it is best not too preheat the oven dont ask me why this makes a difference but it does
Re: Gluten Free Christmas Cake
Hi there,
A few improvements could be made to improve this recipie. First of all to reduce the risk of the creamed butter and sugar curdling, use room temperature eggs and add a spoonful of flour every time you add more egg mixture. You get a more even spice flavour if the mixed spice is sifted with the flour. Also its less dry if the fruit is soaked in alcohol or fruit juice for at least 24 hours beforehand.
