Use Doves Farm gluten free flour. And just substitute the flour in any recepit at all. I use the bog standard victoria sponge receipe - you need to add a little extra liquid, as the gluten free flour is more absorbent. I use a tablespoon of tastless oil, ie veg oil in a 3 egg vic sponge receipe. Works fine.

I don't know if you know, but a coeliac cannot eat anything that has come into contact with flour that has gluten in it - if you are cooking for someone who takes their disease seriously, you will have to completely wash down your entire kitchen, you need to use different utensils for the gluten free baking, clean the oven etc etc,

If this person is just what they call gluten intollerent, you will be fine, but do check as you might go to loads of trouble and find she still cant eat it.

I totally agree with Animord. I make gluten-free buns every week this way. The only thing I say is they go stale more quickly than regular or spelt buns so you'd need to make them at most the day before you give them to her. If you want a gorgeous chocolate cake recipe that will last a bit longer let me know and I can PM it to you. I have a cake stall every Saturday and it's my best seller of all the cakes gluten-free or not.
