I've made this cake in September 20...Hi Marie,<br /><br />I've made this cake in September 2020 and have to say I'll make it again, it has lots of potential. Thank you for sharing the recipe.<br />In my case I say potential because of the adaptations I have to make in the future until I get it perfect for us.<br />The taste is there, no doubt about that, but I had some problems with it. Partially because I used a too large baking tray, 31 cm x 20cm, but most of all because I have to use gluten-free flour.<br />As I have coeliac disease I have no choice in the flour, but I usually add some almond flour to my cakes in order to counterbalance that. This being the first time I made the recipe, I followed it by the letter. However, the bottom layer (where the flour settles) is too dry, as gluten-free flour usually is. Also, I think 160C is a bit too high temperature for this sort of cake, the top layer ended up separating from the custard layer, there's a gap between the two!<br />So, this is what I'll do next time:<br />- use a smaller baking tray, something like the one you used. <br />- definitely use buttered parchment paper, rather than just buttering the baking tray (again, you're right on that)<br />- use 50% gluten-free flour and 50% almond flour<br />- bake it in bain-marie (hot water bath) at lower temperature (140C maybe?) and for a bit longer than 60 minutes<br />Thanks again for sharing the recipe, I'll carry on experimenting and am sure it'll be great.Marahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367421972003387656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-87549576626193822822019-11-18T08:23:46.125+00:002019-11-18T08:23:46.125+00:00Perhaps your eggs weren't stiff enough??

As the starch settles in the bottom and custard forms in the middle, the air in the whipped egg white rises to the top under heat and makes up the fluffy top cake layer.Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-64857996680569009222019-11-18T08:21:05.926+00:002019-11-18T08:21:05.926+00:00I do still read my comments!
