I don't bake with it, but I use flora dairy free for toast and stuff, I also use it in 'buttercream'
I make this loaf cake using oil...
250g Self Raising Flour 100g soft brown sugar (or caster if you don't have brown) 1/2 tsp Baking Powder 1/2 tsp Bicarb of soda 220ml milk of choice (I use oat milk personally)
75g Light oil (light rapeseed or light olive oil) 1tsp Vanilla extract 80-100g Soft fruit, this was a mix of about 60g blueberries and 30 g raspberries.
Combine all the ingredients excluding the fruit until it's mixed, a few lumps are OK. Gently fold in the fruit .
Bake in a 2lb loaf tin a preheated (180/Gas 4) oven until it's golden brown and a skewer comes out clean, it took about 40-45 mins for mine, although the original recipe states 35 minutes.
Leave it in the tin for about 15 minutes before removing and cooling on a wire rack.
For the glaze, icing sugar (80g should be plenty if not a little too much) a dash of vanilla extract and milk of choice (again I used oat milk) until it's the consistency you require for drizzling.

I use Vitalite for sponges and suchlike, and a 50/50 mix of Trex and Vitalite for pastry.

I don't like vitalite myself. I used to use stork blocks all the time though.

That looks nice Purps. What sort of texture does it have? Do you think it would hold up if made with gf flour?

Anyone done anything with avocado spread? If so how did it work out?

It's light, airy and moist. Gf needs a bit more liquid doesn't it? I used frozen blueberries yesterday and the time before that and it gave it a bit more moisture, so maybe try frozen berries.

Light and airy sounds good. It does and that's what I was thinking Purps - I happen to have frozen raspberries and blueberries too.
