Almond & Cranberry Cake – Gluten & Grain Free

~ cozebakes ~ Leave a comment

The taste and texture of this delicious cake is so comforting and warming and it can be made ahead. It’s perfect to serve after a meal with friends and family. Some people wanted cream with it and others had ice cream. It worked so well with both!

The glaze to top the cake can be made while it’s baking in the oven. It’s a fantastic finish to the cake and definitely needs to be included. Don’t be tempted to skip it and if you’re making it ahead, just keep the glaze in the fridge till needed, pop it in the microwave, spoon it over the cake when you’re going to serve it.

It’s the real deal and the feedback has been just so amazing.

I’m really proud as I devised this recipe myself by using bits from other recipes that I have here plus using my knowledge about Gluten Free Baking and it’s been such a success that it’s like watching one of your kids do well (hahahahah) but seriously, try it!!

Gluten Free, Paleo, Dairy Free, Grain Free, No Refined Sugar

Have you tried baking with Olive Oil? It’s a great solution for those who need to be dairy free but it’s also a healthy way to bake.

Date & Nut Bread – Gluten Free & Regular Versions

~ cozebakes ~ Leave a comment

I’m a big fan of a loaf tin bake. The possibilities are endless. The recipes are always pretty straightforward. They look great and can be an every day treat or dressed up and they win over a crowd. What’s not to love!

This bread has everything I love. The dates, lots of warming spices and nuts and it uses no refined sugar!

If you need it Dairy Free, then substitute the butter for your usual non dairy brand.

Vegans can sub the egg with a flax seed egg (see below) and use maple syrup or date syrup in place of the honey.

A great dessert to serve with cream or custard after a lovely dinner.

Christmas Squares – Gluten Free version included

~ cozebakes ~ Leave a comment

These squares are a cross between a brownie and a blondie and are pretty addictive! I love that if you use different coloured sweets, you can make this recipe for most of our celebrations. If you want a Gluten Free version, there are sweets that are a few varieties such as the ones from Aldi and the Dairy & Dam in Health Stores are gluten free. Regular Smarties are NOT gluten free.

I’ve popped a few variations of these delicious squares in the recipe below for you to try and as usual, I’ve reduced the sugar as they are quite sweet with the M&M’s and the chocolate chips. They turned out still sweet and very delicious! Quick and easy to make, easy to adapt …. what’s not to love??
