Gluten-free jaffa marble cake
serves / 12 prep / 1 hour cook / 55 minutes
Ingredients
185ml (3⁄4 cup) reduced-fat milk
125ml (1⁄2 cup) fresh orange juice, strained
1 tbs orange rind, finely grated 100ml extra-virgin olive oil 150g coconut sugar
2 eggs, lightly whisked
160g buckwheat flour
40g coconut flour
2 tbsp almond meal
1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
1⁄2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tbsp 70 per cent dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
30g (1⁄4 cup) raw cacao, sifted
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fanforced. Grease the base and sides of a 9.5 x 19.5cm (base measurement) loaf pan and line with baking paper, allowing the edges to overhang.
2. Place the milk, juice, rind, oil and sugar in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 4 minutes or until sugar dissolves (mixture may curdle slightly). Transfer to a bowl.
Cool for 6 minutes.
3. Add eggs to milk mixture and stir to combine. Reserve 1⁄4 cup buckwheat flour. Add remaining buckwheat flour to the milk mixture. Add the coconut flour, almond meal, baking powder and bicarb. Stir until smooth. Transfer half the batter to a second bowl. Stir the chocolate and reserved buckwheat flour into one bowl. Stir cacao into remaining bowl.
4. Spoon half the batters, in random spoonfuls, into the prepared pan. Use a butter knife to create a swirled effect. Repeat with remaining batters, using the butter knife to create a swirled effect. Bake for 46-48 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
