200g margarine
2 large eggs

Cooking Time: 50 Mins

This recipe contains

Dairy, Egg, Soya

Method

1. In a large bowl and using an electric whisk, beat together the margarine, eggs and gluten free self raising flour until well combined and creamy.

2. Add in puree pumpkin (for details on how to make homemade pumpkin puree see my gluten free cheesy pumpkin pasta recipe, alternatively you can buy canned), maple syrup, cinnamon and mixed spice and mix thoroughly. The maple syrup gives a lovely autumn feel to the cake while also lowering the refined sugar content slightly - this cake is only mildly sweet, the chocolate chips give it most of it's sweetness.

3. Add 50g of white chocolate chips, stir through to evenly distribute through the mix.

4. Grease and line and 2lb loaf tin and pour in your gluten free cake mix, place in an oven preheated to gas mark 5/190c and bake for 40-50 mins, until a skewer pressed into the middle comes out clean.

5. Remove from the oven and set aside, leave to cool in the tin for a while but turning out on a wire rack then allow to go completely cold.

6. Melt the other 50g of white chocolate chips in a bowl (I blast in the microwave 10 seconds at a time until fully melted) then drizzle over the top of the gluten free cake. Allow the chocolate to set for at least an hour.

7. Cut the gluten free loaf cake into slices and enjoy.
