Gluten free Madeira cake
A gluten free sponge cake that is moist and doesn’t fall apart. Impossible?
A challenge certainly, but after many hours of testing and baking we have created just that. Included is a recipe for fluffy buttercream and a guide sugar paste quantities and getting a professional sugar paste finish.
Scaled for different sized tins from a 4 inch (10cm) to a 13 inch (33cm) with cooking times. Clear step by step instructions from lining the tin to putting it in the oven.
You can use this card in conjunction with our other recipe cards - by following the guidance you can for example adapt the Luxury Chocolate Madeira or Luscious Lemon recipes.

I made this cake using the recipe card with much trepidation as I had not used gluten-free flour before & it came out beautifully and tasted divine.

This is my most-used recipe card, even for people who are not following a gluten-free diet. I've never had a failure and people always comment how lovely it tastes. Plenty strong enough to stack and ice with fondant.

Are there any plans to bring out a recipe card for variations to the gluten free Madeira? Cake School: ‘Most of the recipes on the Flavour Variations card can be used with the gluten free Madeira recipe. The almond, cherry, coffee & walnut, vanilla & choc chip, stem ginger and orange & choc chip would all be fine. Cranberry & orange – just check the pack of cranberries, most are fine but some have traces of gluten. Coconut – check the coconut milk powder. Light fruit – check the mincemeat. Oreo – choose a different gluten free biscuit but the principles are the same'.

This card gives you the ingredients for each tin size whether it be round or square. It tells you how to cover a Madeira cake with sugar paste and buttercream and course, so helpful the different quantities you need to cover with sugar paste.
