| Carol Kearns, our talented illustrator, also writes a baking column for EDP Norfolk Magazine, a few months ago she came up with this gluten free fava bean, ginger and sweet potato cake - easy to bake with our Fava Bean Flour, great to eat. |
When baking cakes to raise funds at University I found that a number of people asked for dairy-free or gluten-free options. I met the first requirement by baking either carrot cake (made with vegetable oil rather than butter) or courgette cake. Gluten-free presented more of a challenge. I came up with a very nice chocolate cake made with ground almonds rather than flour but as you’ll find a recipe for this type of cake in most cookery books I thought I’d devise something a bit different.
I’m currently working on the illustrations for Hodmedod’s gluten free flours made from quinoa, dried peas and fava beans (a variety of dried broad bean). As usual Hodmedod sent me samples to inspire my illustration work and these arrived at the same time that I was thinking about developing a gluten-free cake recipe for my column in EDP Norfolk Magazine. I chose to use the fava bean flour in this recipe and was delighted with the results - it really is absolutely delicious.

Method

Orfhlaith Noone's addition of Guinness to Irish soda bread give it a modern twist, lending a deep, malty flavour to the loaf. This bread is the perfect accompaniment to hearty Irish dishes like seafood chowders, beef stews, soups, or simply with a smear of salted butter - Irish only, please!
Gently tipping its hat to gyeran bap (Korean fried eggs and rice), this is a very easy but satisfying supper. The difference here is Isabella Palmer's use of wholegrain black wheat instead of rice as a full-of-fibre wholegrain, as well as cooking it from scratch in the toasty sesame sauce.
This cake is pure comfort from a tin! Made with kibbled naked barley, it takes inspiration from the creamy warmth of porridge and transforms it into something richer, denser and custardy.
