These are individual allergy-and-diet-friendly cakes, but if you prefer you can use a 23cm cake tin and bake for 1 hour, until a skewer comes out clean. Delicious.

Chef's tip
These are individual cakes, but if you prefer you can use a 23cm cake tin and bake for 1 hour, until a skewer comes out clean. The cakes are delicious eaten warm from the oven, but they will also keep for up to 5 days in a sealed cake tin, or for a bit longer if kept in the fridge.
