I really liked this recipe I haven't had a lot of luck with Gluten free pastry but this turned out great. I did it with bramble jam and it was yummy

Added a spoonful of desiccated coconut to sponge and a few drops vanilla. Used a good strong home-made raspberry jam. Full of flavour. Perfect.

This was very easy to make but rather tasteless which I found disappointing
