Frequently asked questions

Which butter do you use for the the cake?

I use the Stork Original Baking Block which is naturally dairy free and available in most major UK supermarkets. If you can’t get hold of this butter, I always prefer to use a hard dairy free butter block instead of a soft spread for baking.

Which flour do you use for the cake? 

For this recipe, and the majority of my bakes, I use the FREE gluten free self raising flour which works really well in gluten free baking.

Which cake tin do you use for this recipe?

For this recipe I use a standard 20cm springform square baking tin.

Which sprinkles do you use?

Any rainbow sprinkles will work for the top of this cake, however ensure to check they are gluten free.

How long will this cake last?

This cake will last in an airtight container for up to 3 days, however is always best served on the day or day after you make it.
