Blueberry and Pineapple Ring with Vanilla Sauce

Ingredients

170g gluten-free flour

2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder

a pinch of xanthan gum (1/8 teaspoon)

170g dairy-free margarine

170g caster sugar

3 medium free range eggs, beaten

50g fresh blueberries

50g fresh or tinned pineapple, cut into small chunks

1 tablespoon pineapple juice (or any other pure fruit juice)

What to do

Preheat your oven to 180 C / 350 F / Gas Mark 4.

Lightly oil a ring-shaped baking tin and line the bottom with greaseproof paper.

Sift together the gluten-free flour, gluten-free baking powder and xanthan gum.

In a separate bowl, beat the dairy-free margarine with the sugar until light and fluffy, then slowly beat in the eggs and fruit juice.

Add the gluten-free flour and mix well, then stir in the fruit until well combined.

Spoon the mixture in to your prepared baking tin, smooth over the top and bake for about 40 minutes until light golden brown.

Serve with more blueberries, pineapple chunks and a vanilla sauce or custard.
