Ingredients for gluten free blueberry slice


3oz Rice flour
1oz Cornmeal flour (fine polenta)
1oz Corn starch
1oz Ground almonds
4oz Light brown Muscovado sugar
4oz Vegan margarine
4 Tbsp Soya milk
1/2 Tbsp Vanilla essence
1 tsp Xanthan gum
1 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
2 Tbsp Flax seeds
4 Tbsp Hot water
Pinch salt
Blueberry conserve
Powdered sugar


See how springy the cake is?

How to make an eggless blueberry slice



Grind the flax seeds to a powder then add the 4 tablespoons of hot water and mix well.

Place all dry ingredients into a baking bowl.
Add margarine and stir a few times to slightly bring together.



Add milk and mix well.



Add the flax seed mixture and vanilla, mix well.




Grease and flour a flapjack/swiss roll tin.


Drop spoonfuls of the gluten free cake mixture all over the cake tin - this will helps when spreading the thick cake batter.


Spread evenly, place a metal spoon into a cup of hot water to help the spreading process. Place into a hot oven at gas mark 7 for 20-25 minutes.



Once cooked leave the cake in the tray for a few minutes then remove and place onto a cooling rack.

Once the cake has cooled a little slice away all of the edges.


Cut the cake into squares.




Slice each across the middle.
Spread the bottom half with blueberry conserve. Place the top on then cut cut all of the squares in half to form slices.



Dust with powdered sugar.

Mmm, that looks so delicious! Reminds me of a cakey pop tart, but much less cloying and artificial. :)
