I make this at the restaurant I work in
Raspberry & coconut gluten free cake
6 eggs 225 g castor sugar 190 g almond meal 70g coconut threads 250g frozen or fresh raspberries. 1 heaped tsp baking powder (make sure it is a big heap)
mix egg and sugar till well combined. add almond meal, coconut and baking powder to the eggs. Mix till combined. Add frozen raspberries and fold in.
Bake at 170 c fan forced in a lined 20cm tin. Depending on your oven it will take somewhere between 45 mins to an hour or till skewer comes out clean. Ice with icing if desired. Just make sure you use pure icing sugar.
If the top is browning too quickly, cover with some foil

there is a gluten free thread somewhere too. Just use the search box on the left hand side.
I need to make a sponge cake, but the recipe on the maize cornflour packet calls for a spoonful of plain flour. I can't find the specific instructions on any website.
I understand that the gluten is needed to help the maize cornflour stay raised. Is there another GF flour I can substitute? If it's protein that's needed, what about pea flour? Will the flavour be tainted with a small amount?
I made it with the plain flour for home and it was fine; without it the sponge rose well and looked good but sunk and went chewy as it cooled.
This is for a coeliac sufferrer so not even a speck of gluten is allowed.
