Our best ever gluten-free Christmas cakes

Nothing says Christmas like this classic fruit-filled clementine cake. This stunning cake is loaded with raisins, sultanas, currants, and glacé cherries, and topped with candied clementines. As it's made with polenta and ground almonds in place of traditional flour, it's a good gluten-free option.

We've also used polenta in our gluten-free orange & almond cake with citrus mascarpone and flourless lemon & polenta drizzle cake.

Choc-cherry fudge torte with cherry sorbet

Our choc-cherry fudge torte with cherry sorbet has all the classic flavours of a Black Forest gateau without the gluten. The squidgy chocolate cake is also vegan and nut-free, and the sorbet is so simple to make – just whizz cherry compote and sugar in a food processor and freeze.

Gingered rich fruitcake

Packed with currants, sultanas, raisins, figs and prunes, our gingered rich fruitcake has all the flavours you'd expect in traditional fruitcake, but is made even more festive with ginger, triple sec and citrus. This can be made up to one month ahead – simply cool and wrap, then arrange and glaze the fruit on top a few days before Christmas.
