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.
Flourless Lemon Cake
This lemon cake has the perfect balance of having a light citrus flavour, coupled with a beautifully dense almond meal texture.
It makes the perfect dessert or afternoon tea treat as it can be served warm or at room temperature.
3 Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Cake
This amazingly dense cake is cooked in a water-bath in the oven which ensures it's super fudgy texture. Just make sure the chocolate you're using is gluten free.
This is an incredibly rich cake... so you'll only need a tiny slice!
Gluten-Free Almond & Coconut Cake
This is by far one of my most popular recipes - with both those on a gluten-free diet and those who aren't!
It's subtle coconut flavour is loved by all.
Gluten-Free Lemon, Ricotta & Almond Cake
This was the first gluten-free cake recipe that I ever made and it's still one of my favourites.
The flaked almonds work beautifully with the lemon flavour, while the ricotta gives this cake a dessert-like moist texture.
Gluten-Free Brownies
I'm going to let you in on a little secret, my absolute all-time favourite brownies are gluten-free brownies (even though I don't eat a gluten-free diet). Just use a gluten-free chocolate!
There's something about the fudgy, rich and dense flavour coupled with a flaky top that will keep you coming back for more.

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!
