healthy cake, yes, it IS a thing...

So, I am feeling a little of that pesky new-year sluggishness at the moment, it is too dark and cold and  I probably ate too much over the holidays. I am not militantly anti anything when it comes to food, but I do know that when I feel like this a little gluten avoidance does me good. Cake avoidance makes me sad. So gluten free HEALTHY cake it is then!

Recipe after the jump...


315g gluten free self raising flour (I use Doves Farm)
1 tsp baking powder
90g caster sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 eggs
250g buttermilk
60g melted butter, cooled
Grated zest of 1 orange
150g fresh or frozen berries
2 tbs of pearl sugar or Demerara sugar

Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees Celcius. Grease and flour a loaf tin. Mix all the ingredients apart from the berries and pearl/Demerara sugar. Scoop into your loaf tin. Put the berries on top and push into the cake mixture. Sprinkle the sugar on top and bake for 45 mins to 1 hour until golden on top and a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Enjoy!
