Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350°F and line an 8"cake tin or a 9" x 5" loaf tin
- 2
Zest and juice a whole lemon. You'll need some of the juice for the cake and some for the icing
- 3
Whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl and the wet ingredients including the lemon zest in another
- 4
Mix the wet into the dry and stir until smooth
- 5
Pour into the tin and bake 30 - 35 minutes for a cake tin and 40 - 45 minutes for a loaf tin or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean
- 6
Let cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack
- 7
To make the glaze add 1 & 1/2 tbsps lemon juice into the icing sugar and mix until combined. Add more lemon juice or water a few drops at a time to thin down to your desired taste and consistency
- 8
Drizzle over the cooled cake. The cleanest way is to put some parchment paper or clingfilm underneath the cooling rack then once the glaze sets you can just throw the paper away
- 9
Slice and enjoy!

My sister makes a gorgeous orange poppy seed cake but of course Jack can never have any because he's allergic to most of the ingredients she uses. I reworked her recipe for our Dads birthday today so we could all enjoy some and it didn't last very long with my kids around!

I'm very pleased with this one! The raspberry sauce really ties the other flavours together well. It made a great dessert cake. Thanks to my hubby for assembly and photographs after I stupidly burnt myself making the syrup! Ended up at A&E for hours to bring you this recipe lol -
Vickys Gooey Cinnamon Chocolate Cake, GF DF EF SF NF Vickys Gooey Cinnamon Chocolate Cake, GF DF EF SF NF
This dessert is not for the faint hearted! It's packed full of butter (vegan of course), sugar and yes I did mean 2 tablespoons of cinnamon lol. It's definitely a treat to be enjoyed in moderation but it's so delicious I'm sure you'd be forgiven for having another slice.... -

Yummy spices warmed us up today since we're flooding over here! Carrot cake is one of my favourites! Either frosting is delicious. My other kids prefer a plain icing sugar glaze where Jack and I enjoy the tang of a cream cheese frosting more -

Vickys Easter Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies, GF DF EF SF NF Vickys Easter Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies, GF DF EF SF NF
Easter always poses problems for people with allergies to things like dairy and soya, every holiday does really. I hate for my kids to miss out on any treats. I made these for the twins to take to their school nursery Easter Bonnet Parade as I know the after party will be full of goodies that Jack can't have but now he can have some lovely, chewy carrot cake cookies! -
Vickys Amazake Apple Cake, GF DF EF SF NF Vickys Amazake Apple Cake, GF DF EF SF NF
Taste the batter before you add each spoonful of syrup as I have quite a sweet tooth and you may not need as much. I used 3 tbsp milk in the batter but I think possibly using wheat flour you might not need any additional liquid at all. The kids loved it and I'll be experimenting with amazake more in the near future! -
Vickys 'Free-From' Victoria Sponge Cake, GF DF EF SF NF Vickys 'Free-From' Victoria Sponge Cake, GF DF EF SF NF
Just a very basic, everyday free-from cake recipe, easy to adapt to other flavourings. I used 7" tins in the main picture but on hindsight I should have used slightly smaller ones so I've instructed the use of 6" tins with their cooking time. If you double the ingredients you could use 7" or 8" tins instead for achieving thicker cake layers, just add an extra 15 minutes or so onto the baking time. Or use 4 x 7" tins to construct a gateux-styled 4 layered cake
