Last minute Christmas Cake without gluten

Nicola Kildunne's picture
Asked on 29 Nov 2022 by Nicola Kildunne

I always make Delia's last minute brandied Christmas cake, and it's my husband's favourite ever! We have recently discovered that gluten makes him ill. Can I just switch normal SR flour for gluten free SR flour (perhaps with some Xanthan Gum), and follow the recipe as it is? Thought I'd ask here before I spend all the money on the ingredients if it won't work?

Hello,

We tested this cake exactly as published just swapping the flour.

We were very happy with the results however I would say if you are familiar with Xanthan gum it would be a little plus to include that too.

Kind regards

Lindsey
