Buckwheat and coconut cake

A gluten-free recipe of my own devising. (No, this isn’t often a food blog, but this really did work out quite nicely.)

Half cup of sugar
Slurp of vanilla essence
Three-quarters of a cup of butter
1 cup of gluten-free bread flour
1 cup of buckwheat flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
Three-quarters of a cup of dessicated coconut
2 tablespoons (or so) of milk

1. Beat butter, sugar and vanilla (or cheat and half-melt butter in microwave – I do.)
2. Mix flours, coconut and wet mixture, and add enough milk to form soft dropping consistency
3. Bake around 170 (fan-forced) for about 40 minutes in greased tin.

Would be very nice with creamed cheese icing (like carrot cake), although I’m eating it like a pudding with yoghurt.
