Anyone who has ever experimented with gluten free baking will know that gluten free cakes are prone to being dry and crumbly. This is obviously a big problem if you want cover and decorate it as a celebration cake.

So after a bit of tweaking I have come up with a tasty and non-crumbly Gluten Free Madeira Cake recipe!

This recipe will make 2x 6″ round cakes which can then be filled and crumb coated with your usual buttercream (as long as it’s gluten free of course).
