Ingredients

  • 340 grams Gluten Free Self-Raising Flour
  • 340 grams Caster Sugar
  • 340 grams Spread (tub of marg) - Dairy free if necessary - eg Flora Dairy Free, Pure, Vitalite
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder - check its gluten free
  • 6 eggs

Topping

  • 300-400 grams Jam
  • Loads of Biscuits! - Morrisons have a great range of gf df biscuits

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180oC (fan).
  • Line your traybake tin/loaf tin/whatever you're using with baking paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the butter & sugar until fully combined.
    >You’re looking for the mix to be paler, smooth & creamy! I use an electric whisk for 2 mins.
  • Crack all the eggs into a separate bowl & beat together.
  • Add the beaten eggs, flour and baking powder to the butter/sugar and whisk together until JUST combined (20-30seconds).
    >Don’t over whisk, otherwise you’ll lose the air bubbles & they won’t be quite so fluffy!
  • Pour the mix into your tin. It should be about 2/3 full to give it enough room to expand when it bakes.
  • Bake for approx 30 mins.
    >You’re looking for them to be firm on top but springy to touch and a knife/skewer poked into the middle of the cake should come out relatively clean!

Topping

  • Tip your jam into a microwaveable bowl. Heat in 15 second blasts until runny.
  • Pour over the cake whilst its still warm.
  • Add all your biscuits whilst its still warm too. It looks best if you place them all in different ways - cut them in half, face up, face down, crumbled, whatever you fancy!!
