Squidgy Chocolate 'sandwich' cake
Squidgy Chocolate Cake
Hi Lindsey
Hope you are all well?
Not sure if too late to ask as this is for something I'm looking to make for Easter Sunday
The squidgy chocolate cake is made in the Swiss roll tin, but if I wanted to make it in a round tin, what would you advise - 18 or 20cm? Would I need to adjust the amount of the recipe at all?
Happy Easter

Missing water!
Hi Lindsey, 2 questions:
1) I used this recipe last year. I now notice that the 40-55ml of water is now gone from the recipe. Why is that?
2) This year I didn't add the water. Had varying degrees of success amount of rising. Buns rose well 1st time but not so much the next 2 times I tried. Definitely need closer to 1 hour of rise time. Any other thoughts on why they didn't rise? Thanks.
Gluten-free Griestorte!
Could I use ground rice instead of semolina in the lemon griestorte to make it gluten free?
Coulibiac clarification
Hi Lindsey,
I'll be making Delia's salmon coulibiac for Easter lunch for family and friends. Can you confirm that the rice needs to absorb all the cooking liquid and if any is left to drain it off. I also would prefer to use wholegrain rice if you think that would be fine. As children will be at the meal I thought serving it with roasted vegetables, lemony potatoes & a hot tomato sauce would appeal. Do you think the flavours would marry well?
Many thanks, regards Christine
Gluten-free Greek Orange Cake
Hi there
I made Delia's Greek orange cake and it was amazing but I need to make it Gluten free. Can I use all ground almonds or should I substitute the semolina with something else. GF flour doesn’t seem right to me.
