Hi Puddicat,

I bake with gluten free flour all the time, and Doves Flour is the best one to use and it's now available in SR which is fantastic :)

I do add extra baking powder as a rule and also xanthan gum to give texture but not always necessary.

I bake Pineapple Upside Down cake as a store cupboard treat.

I bake Carrot Cake and fruit cakes too.

The Pineapple upside down cake is easy, and add extra 2 tbsp of juice from the canned pineapple. (I don't use the syrup fruit just the ones in fruit juice)

Carrot cake lends itself to gluten free baking because it's moist and the flour requires a little more liquid.

You sound like a lovely neighbour :)

Happy Baking.

I use a recipe of fthe xantham gum jar for victoria sponge, can never find tapioca flour so I use cornflour instead, the xantham gum is 'Life free from' Tesco sell it.
