I always bake my own Christmas cake, but my husband has developed a gluten intolerance. Elizabeth, WigtonWhat Christmas looks like this year is anybody’s guess, but at least we know there will be cake – even if you’re gluten-free. “These darker mixes have a much rounder flavour and are less chalky-tasting.”Ravneet Gill’s gluten-free flour education started with Phil Vickery’s Gluten-Free Baking book. Vickery makes his own flour mixes and, for his Christmas cake recipe on Vickery TV, uses a cornmeal, brown rice flour and cornflour combo. Lepard explains: “The typical starches used in gluten-free baking require more heat for longer to give a cooked texture.”But why stop at Christmas cake?
