Gluten Free Queen’s Cake (Finnish)

[cyclinglady]

My kid and I baked this cake this afternoon.  I last made it years ago, long  before my celiac disease diagnosis using regular wheat flour.    I used Bob’s Red Mill Flour  Blend and substituted potato starch for corn starch.   The flour blend does contain Xanthan gum, so I will see if Xanthan Gum is still an issue for me as it has been years that I have avoided it.    

The cake was delicious with a cup of coffee.  Looking forward to the next slice, this time with vanilla ice cream.  Blowing my diet big time in an effort to teach my kid to bake gluten free, of course!

Fresh blueberries.  I did not add sugar to the filling.

The amazing thing?  My kid helped make it!  Seriously, high school was grueling academically with all her extracurricular activities.  She works hard, so she was given a pass on learning how to cook and bake.  But summer is here and with this pandemic, it is the perfect time to catch up real life skills.

A fresh pot is now ready, but when company arrives, coffee is always prepared.  😊.

That's so cool!  My 8 year old and I have been baking quite a bit together during this time.  Every Monday we bake some sort of treat to share with the family after dinner.  It's so fun!
