At the time of writing, it’s coming up to the May Day bank holiday. That means an extra-long weekend, with more time to relax, spend time with friends and family and, importantly, eat. And, really, when we say “eat” what we really mean is “eat cake”.
But of course, cakes aren’t just for bank holidays. They’re for anything and everything. But since May Day is approaching we’ll use that as our excuse to share some deliciously indulgent gluten-free cake recipes. Happy baking!
