Deliciously simple tea cake for a sweet treat.
Ingredients:
  • 130.00 gm rice flour
  • 65.00 gm gluten-free cornflour
  • 125.00 ml soy flour
  • 150g butter, chilled, chopped
  • 141.90 gm caster sugar
  • 40.00 gm chilled water
  • 191.25 gm mascarpone cheese
  • 3 large lemons, juiced, rind grated
  • 4 eggs, at room temperature
  • Pure icing sugar, to serve
  • Lemon rind, shredded, to serve
  • Double cream, to serve
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat your oven to a perfect 180°C while you prepare a 3cm deep, 23cm (base) fluted tart pan by greasing and lining it.
  • Sift the flours three times. Blend the flours, butter, and half of the sugar in a food processor until it forms crumbs. Add water and blend until the mixture comes together. Transfer the dough onto a lightly cornfloured surface, knead gently, and shape it into a 10cm disc. Wrap it in baking paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Flatten pastry between 2 sheets of baking paper to 2mm thick, then shape into a 30cm disc. Line pan with pastry and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • 1. Prepare the pastry by lining it with baking paper. Fill two-thirds of the base with uncooked rice and bake for 10 minutes, or until the pastry is firm. Remove the rice and paper, then bake for an additional 5 minutes until the pastry turns light golden. Finally, reduce the oven temperature to 160°C.
  • With an electric mixer, blend together mascarpone cheese, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, 2/3 cup of lemon juice, and the remaining sugar until smooth. Gradually add the eggs one at a time, making sure to beat well after each addition.
  • Spread the filling evenly into the pastry case and transfer the tart onto a baking tray. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the filling is firm. Allow the tart to cool in the pan, then sprinkle with icing sugar, garnish with lemon rind, and serve with cream.
