Recipe's preparation

    Mill Rice Flour

  1. Place rice in bowl and mill 10 seconds, speed 9.  Set aside

  2. Add raw sugar and mill 10 seconds, speed 9.  Add SR flour, rice flour to bowl.  

    Add juice and zest of limes and lemon (or orange).

    Add oil and eggs.  Mix 20 seconds speed 7 using spatula to push down mixture.

    Add yoghurt, mix 20 seconds speed 6, using spatula to push down mixture.

  3. Pour mixture into prepared 24cm cake tin.  Line tin with baking paper making sure a "collar" of paper sticks up out of the tin for about 10 cm.  (this prevents the cake from browning too much)

  4. Place in pre-heated oven at 180 degrees for 40-45 mins (mine took about 50 minutes).  Always test with skewer to make sure it comes out clean.

  • Tastes great but... this

    Submitted by LoobyLou81 on 24. September 2016 - 10:02.

    Tastes great but... this makes a huge quantity of cake mix and it took so long too cook through that my edges were burnt (even with the "collar"). Next time I would make two cakes or some cupcakes instead. Love the flavour though!
