Tastey Gluten Free Carrot Cake

Im writing this blog on a major sugar high, after having devoured the last of the cream cheese icing from my delectable Carrot Cake.

Want the Ingredients? Then Read On

Cake
3 Eggs
1 Cup Oil
1 Cup Sugar
1 1/3 Baking Soda
1 3/4 Cups of Gluten Free Self Raising Flour
1/4 Cup Chopped Walnuts
1/4 Cup Plump Died Apricots
2 Cups of Grated Carrot
1 1/2 Teaspoons of Cinnamon

Icing
125G Cream Cheese (or until the right consistency)
1 Cup Icing Sugar
2 Dessert Spoons of Soft Butter
Lemon Juice
Grated Lemon Rind (optional)

Instructions
Beat Eggs, Sugar and Oil Well. Add Dry Ingredients. Blend Together. Add Carrots, walnuts, apricots. Place Great Proof Paper in the bottom of a tin. Cook on 180 degrees C for 35-45 mins.

Beat together the ingredients with a little lemon juice, and grate in a little lemon rind. I served mine with a few almonds, coconut, and apricots... It tasted amazing, (although i could not eat much after my feat on icing) and My Gluten loving flatmates thought it tasted allright, which is saying something!

Happy Baking and Remeber Enjoy... And Always Lick The Spoon

The Old Vicaridge Christchurch

This morning I had the pleasure of heading to the old vicarage in Haswell Christchurch for brunch, and man did i get brunch. Firstly i question the menu as it stated no gluten free option, but after enquiring with the waitress, I found out you can simply request meals to be gluten free, this meant lots of options! Very impressive.

My Order

I ordered the Eggs Benedict, with Smoked Ham, on 2 Home Made Has browns, What can I say, It looked amazing, and tasted even better, Huge servings, I only ate half, and defiantly not gluten, as my tummy feels great!

**** the old vicarage, well done! The coffee was not half bad either, Id defiantly dine there again! I recommend you ask for a half serving if you get the eggs Benedict thou! Its more then a mouthful
