Gluten/Dairy Free Hazelnut Cake
I am so happy about this recipe. I often hear gluten and dairy free cakes can be boring/dry,… And it is often true..
This recipe below, that I developed for a recent canapés function, is absolutely delicious and super fast to whip together,.
Enjoy,
Gluten and Dairy Free Hazelnut Cake

- 30 gr Buckwheat Flour
- 20 gr Maize Flour Pure
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
-
Turn oven on, 180ºC.
Whisk egg white, salt and sieved icing sugar till melted. Add sieved flours, whisk till combined, then add melted coconut oil (be careful it isn't too hot).

Recipe Notes
This is an extremely easy and fast recipe to make, and you would never guess it is without any dairy or gluten.
Traditionally, financiers are cooked in a shallow rectangular mould, but this is hard to find here. I used a flexible silicone spherical mould, just sprayed with coconut oil, works perfectly for "mignardise" (petits fours).
Here, I have piped a dark chocolate/coconut Ganache (also gluten/dairy free)
