Gluten Free Prosperity Cakes

Yes I've been busy and was excited about developing and tweaking three recipes using the popular Mandarin Oranges to usher in Chinese New Year. Gong Xi Fa Cai!

And when the festive ends, I'd just replace the Mandarins with the Sunkists!


1. Gluten Free Mandarin Pudding Cake

Gluten Free Mandarin Pudding Cake is sinfully rich and flavorful

A bite of this brings you to a different place. It is richly dense and moist, and mandarin orangey flavorful with a layered taste of pure aromatic sweetness with a bitter undertone. This stays with you for a while... The recipe uses whole fruit puree, almond meal and agave. Expect a bit of a drop at the centre but no worries, its thoroughly cooked. Cutting it could be a bit of a challenge, so use a warm serrated knife. It keeps moist for days with or without refrigerated in an air-tight container too.

You don't need frosting however you may eat it the way it is or you may want to go with butterscotch sauce and/or with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. Up to you.

Gluten Free Mandarin Pudding Cake is 8"/20cm diameter and comes in a white box labelled la mere, sold at RM108.

Approximate weight with frosting 1 to 1.2kg

2.  Gluten Free Mandarin Orange Infused Cake

A very, very moist, very, very soft cake, like butter cake full of Mandarin orange juice.  Pure juice from real fruits. The juice is just infused into a hotly baked cake. 

Gluten Free Mandarin Orange Infused Cake

As may be expected, there's a slight drop in the centre because its a heavy cake with milk and juice and further infused fruit juice, not essences or extracts.

Enjoy!

3.  Gluten Free Mandarin Orange Butter Cake

Gluten Free Mandarin Orange Butter Cake comes with
Vanilla Buttercream or Buttercream with Mandarin Orange Juice

A butter cake based flavored with juices from Mandarin oranges. It is moist and rich and goes very well with just Vanilla Buttercream frosting. However, if you prefer an orangey full taste all round, then go with the one with the fruit juice.
