Pink Sponge
From Gill
GF board
Blackberry Sponge
2 oz caster sugar
2 oz butter
4 oz self raising flour (i.e. gf flour + 0.5 teaspn baking powder + 0.25 teaspn xanthum gum)
1 egg
splash of milk
pinch of baking powder
2 tbsp juice from can of blackcurrants
2 oz blackcurrants from a can
(I used blackberries picked from a nearby bush instead of the blackcurrants, pre-heated in microwave to get juice running.)
Method.
1. Cream the butter and sugar together in a food processor until pale and thick (I used electric whisk). Add the flour, egg, milk, baking powder till combined.
2. Carefully fold in the juice and blackcurrants to create a marble effect.
3. Grease a small pudding dish and pour in the sponge mix. Cover with cling film and microwave on high for 4 minutes.
4. Turn out onto a serving plate and serve.
My 4 year old particularly loves this, she calls it the 'pink sponge'.
