We are right in the thick of it now, yesterday George , the one intolerant to wheat , dairy and sugar wanted to make a Rainbow cake, Mum !!! please help, and you guessed it , it was at dinner time . So off we went . The recipe that she wanted was a Martha Stewart one and looked cool , but we had to work out how to make it and not kill her. So the flour became spelt flour , the sugar became coconut sugar and the butter became Olivani , a spread made from olive oil , kinda like margarine, but different. We made up the mix to find the spelt flour made the batter a nice fawn colour , George was a bit miffed because it was going to be hard to colour brightly.
We used liquid food colouring and away we went ending up with five OK colours , we baked them off and assembled the cake. The hard part was what to use to glue the layers together , George had a brainwave , she blitzed some coconut sugar to a really fine powder , mixed with water , a little Olivani and some coconut oil and voila , instant cake glue . We topped off with some coconut and bingo a great cake . It had a sweetened pancake type flavour , was nice and moist , looked great and tasted amazing , one very happy young lady who can munch away to her hearts content knowing that she is not going to explode with eczema. Until next time
Sally.
