There is something you need to know about me. I'm not a great cook. I only cook dishes that are simple, easy and quick. If I can cook it anybody can! In the last couple of years, like so many people out there, I have had to budget my shopping very carefully so I don't use an awful lot of ingredients in my recipes, I try to keep them simple and economical.
Here is a recipe for a quick and easy sponge. Gluten free baking goods don't keep as long as traditional baking goods but I don't worry too much about it, we have a very sweet tooth in my house, cakes disappear fast!
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 250g sugar
- ½ cup of milk
- ½ cup light olive oil
- 250g gluten free flour
- 15g gluten free baking powder
- zest of 1 lemon and 1 orange
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a deep round cake tin. Mix the milk, eggs, oil, sugar and zests in a food processor for a couple of minutes. In a separate bowl mix the flour with the baking powder and sift. Add the flour until well blended. Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 40 minutes.
I found this recipe at the back of a baking powder packet. It was really simple and I liked the fact that it used oil instead of butter. The original recipe called for the zest of half an orange but I think it tastes nicer this way.
