  • handful glace cherries
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • For the cake

  • 100 g golden caster sugar
  • 100 g gluten free self raising flour
  • 1/2 tsp xantham gum
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 180°C /160°C fan/gas mark 4. For the topping, beat butter and sugar together until a creamy consistency.
