The summer holidays are here at last and I thought I'd do a blog to help keep the children busy and something for them to enjoy too.
I’ve heard many coeliacs wanting Mr Kipling to hurry up and make the gluten free equivalent of more of their scrummy cakes so I made it my mission to help you out!
I saw the Angel Slice in the supermarket recently and I thought I'd like to make my own version with Juvela Gluten Free White Mix. I know that the cake will taste delicious with Juvela, just like a normal cake. You can also give them your own unique twist, just like the Mr Kipling Limited Editions - all you need to do is pick your colour!
My recipe made 14 slices and yes, they’re double the size too so you get more cake - hooray!
I used 2 26cm X 16cm cake tins but you could use a slightly larger swiss roll tin and you’d end up with more of a normal sized Angel Slice. Either way, you get a lot more slices than you would if you bought them!
I used cheats fondant icing for the top which saved me a lot of time and it is also easier for the children to help to make it. You can find a block of ready-made fondant icing in the baking section of most supermarkets. I’ve never found one that contains gluten but it is always best to double check that the brand you use is gluten free. It is also important to check your food colouring gel. I was caught out once as I never expected gel colouring to contain gluten but some brands definitely do!
For the cake:
Happy Holidays everyone!
