Madeira cake is traditionally made by creaming butter and sugar together first, and then adding the eggs and eventually the flour and almonds. I prefer to make a ‘crumb’ first, and then mix it with the eggs and water. I think this method is foolproof, and great if you are baking in a rush!

When I rubbed the flour almonds etc with the butter, it formed a sort of gooey mixture, not breadcrumby. I added quite a bit more GF flour before it looked like the description. Might be a variation on GF flour types? Anyway it cooked up just fine and my coeliac grandson pronounced it “Good, thanks Grandma!”
