I quite often bake a treat for us on a Sunday. It feels as though it rounds off the weekend nicely. A celebration of time spent at home and in my kitchen. An acknowledgement to the week ahead and and extreme busy - ness for the week days. Baking has been absent whilst I've been sick and also because of the gluten free diet. I mean I ain't gonna bake something I can't eat, now am I? Cakes and baking being an integral part of me! (Remember, this bake a cake post, So it's taken a while to get my head around gluten free alternatives. I've armed myself with a couple of cookbooks and scoured the web and found heaps of recipes, so now I'm armed and equipped, ready for action! First cake.. A Victoria Sandwich Cake!

Here it is posing for its photo! A very photogenic and willing subject! (The flowers were a lovely surprise from my stepmum, wishing me wellness as the whooping cough drags on. Aren't they beautiful? so bright and cheery - the complete opposite of how I've been feeling...morose and sorry for myself. C'mon Susie snap out of it! Well the cake helped.) It was perfect. Such an easy recipe...one bowl. Mdae with brown rice flour. |

Served up on my favourite cake plates, with a super generous DOLLOP of cream whipped with icing sugar. Sitting contentedly watching Sunday night TV. Really it's all good isn't it? |
