I love for out thou bread of pumpkin

My bread of pumpkin

My cake of almond meal

My rice flour, maize starch, flavourless sauce

No artificial nor wheat, rye or barley

But it’s all organic and oh so natural

Watch out for vitamins, calcium and iron

To be deficient

Would be an all time low

Lucky for chocolate you can stay

Indulging in a different way

It’s new, it burns my pocket so

But at least I’ll be healthy

Energetic and not so slow

When my intestine

Comes to heal

I’ll be happier still

Life is about moving on

So

Put on a smile

And

Tuck in to the glass half full

This is my way of being positive on having to eat a gluten free diet, yes I'm still getting used to it after all it's only been a week but I know that I will soon be feeling great. The cake I made may not look that appetising, but it's seriously yummy. :)

This recipe is totally made up by me – based on one that I’ve made before with wheat flour and one that I found from a Gluten free website... and it tastes delicious cannot tell that it’s gluten free. J

GLUTEN FREE RUSTIC APPLE AND ALMOND CAKE

1 Cup GF SR Flour

1 ½ Cup Almond Meal

1 ½ Cup Brown Sugar

2 Tbsp Cinnamon

2 Tsp of Bi-carb Soda

Handful of chopped/crushed almonds (I used a rolling pin to crush them)

Pinch of salt

½ Cup Honey

1 Large apple or 2 small ones – cut in chunks and skin kept on. Any kind but Royal Gala or Golden Delicious is best

Approx 100 – 150g butter – softened

1 cup milk

Version with wheat – instead of 1 Cup GF SR Flour and 1 ½ Cup Almond Meal you just have 2 cups of Wheat SR Flour and you only need 1tsp of Bi-carb soda

Method

Mix all dry ingredients then wet in large bowl, sometimes following order of ingredients is good. Pour into a greased cake tin. Bake in moderate oven until firm to touch or skewer comes out clean. *check after 40 mins
