Purps Jul 2020 10:36am, 4 Jul 2020 38,128 posts	0 Purps I don't bake with it, but I use flora dairy free for toast and stuff, I also use it in 'buttercream' I make this loaf cake using oil... 250g Self Raising Flour 100g soft brown sugar (or caster if you don't have brown) 1/2 tsp Baking Powder 1/2 tsp Bicarb of soda 220ml milk of choice (I use oat milk personally) 75g Light oil (light rapeseed or light olive oil) 1tsp Vanilla extract 80-100g Soft fruit, this was a mix of about 60g blueberries and 30 g raspberries. Combine all the ingredients excluding the fruit until it's mixed, a few lumps are OK. Gently fold in the fruit . Bake in a 2lb loaf tin a preheated (180/Gas 4) oven until it's golden brown and a skewer comes out clean, it took about 40-45 mins for mine, although the original recipe states 35 minutes. Leave it in the tin for about 15 minutes before removing and cooling on a wire rack. For the glaze, icing sugar (80g should be plenty if not a little too much) a dash of vanilla extract and milk of choice (again I used oat milk) until it's the consistency you require for drizzling.

Little Miss Happy Jul 2020 12:13pm, 4 Jul 2020 2,876 posts	0 Little Miss Happy That looks nice Purps. What sort of texture does it have? Do you think it would hold up if made with gf flour?

Purps Jul 2020 1:39pm, 4 Jul 2020 38,131 posts	0 Purps It's light, airy and moist. Gf needs a bit more liquid doesn't it? I used frozen blueberries yesterday and the time before that and it gave it a bit more moisture, so maybe try frozen berries.
Little Miss Happy Jul 2020 2:03pm, 4 Jul 2020 2,878 posts	0 Little Miss Happy Light and airy sounds good. It does and that's what I was thinking Purps - I happen to have frozen raspberries and blueberries too.
