Ingredients
  • 175g caster sugar (with an extra tablespoon to make the orange glaze)
  • 175g butter
  • 3 medium eggs
  • 80g gluten free self-raising flour (I used Doves Farm)
  • 30g cocoa powder, sieved
  • 30g ground almonds
  • 30g oat flour
  • 2 tablespoon of orange juice
  • Grated zest of 1 orange
  • (note that no extra raising agents are required)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (fan oven) and line a muffin tin with 10 cases
  2. Use a hand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and pale
  3. Gradually add the eggs to the mix, beating continuously and adding a heaped tablespoon of the gluten free flour with the last egg to stop it curdling
  4. Add the remaining gluten free flour, cocoa powder, ground almond and oat flour and use a large metal spoon to fold the mixture together
  5. Divide the mixture between the 10 cases and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden, test by gently pressing a cake, if you leave a dent then put them back for another 5 minutes and check again, they should feel springy to touch
  6. Cool on a wire rack
  7. Meanwhile make the glaze by mixing a tablespoon of caster sugar, the orange juice and zest in a small saucepan, gently heat until the sugar has dissolved and allow the mixture to boil for a minute to thicken slightly
  8. Pierce the cakes several times with a skewer then drizzle over the orange glaze
