Gluten free peach cake 🍑 a summer afternoon treat 😊

Hi everyone,

I bought some flat peaches and used 5 to make 2 of these (as I'll freeze one)

I used 1/2 the sugar in the recipe as I knew the peaches would make it sweeter and I used coconut sugar so theres only 50g of sugar in this cake with (6 good slices) I also put some peach slices on top with flakes almonds and chia seeds. I also used coconut oil so this is dairy free as well as GF.

Its just right this weather with afternoon tea...😊

Here's the recipe:

200g Self raising gluten free flour

150g coconut oil

50g coconut sugar

3 large free range eggs

5 doughnut peaches sliced

flaked almonds and chia seeds to top

Whiz everything up in a food processor add the peaches last and mix gently then spread into 2 greased cake tins and bake for approx 35mins at 150C until cooked through.

looks fabulous Jerry i keep saying im going to start baking and make bread but i never seem to get round to it. You are a great cook i'v seen all your lovely meals. it all seems so easy and i do have a food processor too. I think i just lack confidence. maybe i will get someone to help me i'd love to make my own bread as i dont like whats in the supermarket bread. love grace xoxo

[Hidden in reply to grace111]

Thank you grace111, as you've a food processor I'd use small amounts at first and make simple cakes like a sponge cake which's 4 ingredients in equal amounts + jam and with bread you could make pancakes or flat breads to give you confidence...and you just might surprise yourself.😊

Gosh

That looks lovely.

I’ve given up on gluten free baking, even my teenage son said to me

“Mum , I don’t think you should try doing gluten free baking anymore, as every time you make something it tastes awful”

Me: “well I can’t eat gluten anymore, so I have too”.

Him: “don’t worry Mum, you do the non gluten free baking and me and dad will eat it”. 😂

I’ll give this a go.

Best wishes

Thanks Peanut31 and that sounds like great advice from your son. There is a Gluten free Topic section with more ideas recipes so it'd be Worth checking them out.

Good luck with all things gluten free and theres a few of us on here...😊

I have to make this for my neighbor. She has issues with a lot of things, and cannot have dairy at all. Looks great for the steamy weather we're having.

Really sounds good, I don't have any of this to make one but I love peach pie, my favorite. But had accident an ended up with cracked ribs & leg swollen inside, dr fears blood clot so can't be on my legs for awhile but will remember this recipe, thanks.
