Recipes
A light coffee fatless sponge, split and filled with unsweetened cocoa whipped cream, topped with walnuts and a dusting of cocoa. Gluten-free and low in sugar, thanks to a caster sugar and monk-fruit sweetener blend that still supports the egg foam.
A light, moist Provençal-style gâteau with ripe apricots, lemon and almond — adapted for Doves Farm Freee plain flour, reduced sugar and a tender gluten-free crumb. The ripe fruit does much of the sweetening, so it's intentionally less sweet than most French apricot cakes.
A light English trifle — gluten-free fatless sponge soaked in fresh lemon juice and dry sherry, layered with homemade vanilla custard, tangy lemon curd, fresh raspberries and softly whipped cream, finished with toasted flaked almonds.
A reduced-sugar gluten-free carrot cake. This recipe is less sweet than most, using a small amount of sugar and a small amount of monk fruit sweetener (combined, less than a conventional recipe). The cream cheese frosting is also lower in sugar than conventional recipes and can be easily adapted to be lactose-free, goat or dairy-free.
A gluten-free, reduced-sugar Black Forest gateau — three light chocolate sponges, fresh cherry filling sharpened with kirsch and lemon, vanilla cream stabilised with mascarpone, finished with grated dark chocolate. Homemade-rustic, not showroom-perfect.
A vanilla-pod crème brûlée with a no-sugar custard base — goat milk and A2 cream for a lighter, cleaner set, finished with a crisp brûléed top.
