Today, up and down the British Isles, cooks everywhere will be baking a very particular cake to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee (a reign of 70 years).  The famous cake is the Victoria Sandwich.  I thought I'd share this gluten free version of it with my non-British friends on the forum.   I also attach the history behind it.

If you want to give it a try, a tip: I never use butter for the sponge, it is much easier to blend if you use a good quality margarine.  That said, it tastes very good with butter! You use what we call double cream or whipping cream for the centre (I think you call it heavy cream in the US, but it is the sort that gets thicker when you whip it.)   But if you want to cut the calories a bit, and only a bit (!), you can skip the cream.

It tends to get quite crumbly after about three days but that is seldom a problem in my house, it usually disappears very fast!

Happy Platinum Jubilee, Your Majesty!

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
