Butter and Flour Free Chocolate CakeThis contains chickpeas which might sound strange but actually works really well! It doesn't taste particularly 'chickpea'-like and is still incredibly moist despite having no butter. You can easily make this completely gluten-free by using gluten-free baking powder too. This was made in an 8" square tin. |

Vanilla Custard Sauce (British)This sauce is served over steamed puddings, fruit crisps (crumbles), and any dessert that would be enhanced by a creamy vanilla sauce. It's the perfect homemade replacement for Byrd's Custard powder.

Butter Free Raspberry Polenta CakeThe quantity of polenta used is small, but is enough to work in that slightly gritty texture expected from a polenta cake. I also baked it in a shallower tin which results in a crunchy cased cake that is still soft and moist on the inside. |

Soft Pear and Cranberry SquaresAside from the egg, this is otherwise dairy-free! Use very ripe pears for best results. This recipe is for a 13 x 8" traybake (32 squares) Cover the top with baking paper or foil during the last 10 minutes to avoid the top over-browning. http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2011/03/soft-pear-and-cranberry-squares.html |
