    Eating gluten-free doesn't mean that you have to miss out on the good stuff... I'm talking moist cakes, dense fudgy brownies, sweet puddings and tarts!

    But you certainly don't need to on a gluten-free diet to fall head over heels with these amazing desserts - try them for yourself and see!

    Gluten-Free Cakes

    I often receive emails from readers who need a gluten-free recipe to cater for a friend, family member or work colleague who is gluten-free - and I ALWAYS suggest one of my gluten-free cakes or my famous brownies!

    They're quick, easy and incredibly popular with those who have a gluten-free diet and those who don't!

    Gluten-Free Flourless Orange Cake

    This recipe is made using a whole orange that is boiled and then pureed, giving the cake the most incredible flavour. Once you've made this cake, you'll see why it's well worth the time.

    Serve this cake on it's own or with whipped cream or vanilla ice-cream.

    Tips For Baking Gluten-Free Desserts

    Baking gluten-free desserts doesn't have to be difficult! Follow my top tips for delicious gluten-free baking!

    • Experiment with different gluten-free flours until you find a brand that you like (all are a little bit different!)
    • Measure your ingredients properly - this is important with regular baking but seems to be even more so with gluten-free cooking. Measuring dry ingredients using grams is more accurate than using cups or spoons.
    • Read the labels - when baking gluten-free recipes, it's important to check the labels to ensure that the ingredient is in fact gluten-free (chocolate is one example of this - some types are gluten-free, whereas others are not).
    • Buy bulk almonds - if you have a food processor or a Thermomix, you can make your own almond meal using whole almonds. This is a great way to save money as almond meal (a staple of many gluten-free baking recipes) is a little expensive!
