Gluten free ginger, polenta and almond shortbread with a lemon sponge topping.
This cake (which used to be known as Snowy Hills) has a bit of a cult following and is a multi award winner. One of the trickier cakes to make… but soooo worth it. The ginger we use is not at all harsh and is delicately balanced with the lemon upper layer. The 'biscuity' base is gently textured with ground almonds and polenta. First we bake the shortbread base before making a lemon frangipane, basically a dense almondy cake mixture, which is spread over the base and we then bake again.
A Great Taste Gold Award Winner. Highly commended in the Free From Food Awards.
This makes a sublime pud in a hurry. Just pop in the microwave or oven; you can serve with our recurring fave, creme fraiche with lemon curd, or clotted cream ice cream from Purbeck Ice Cream.
Or why not create your own celebration cake stack.

"Snowy Hills is my favourite of all your bakes...what I adore about snowy hills (I still call it that) is the perfectly subtle combination of lemon and ginger, so that neither taste is overpowering, and the mouthfeel of the base combined with the sponge topping. It's so completely unique and unlike any other cake, bake or bar I've ever eaten. A truly remarkable recipe," @sussexhygge, Instagram
