gluten free sponges, how long do they last?

[wintersdawn]

Just that really, I've got my gluten free FIL coming round for a birthday meal, but wont have time to cook a cake on the day. A normal sponge I'd make the day before and put some sugar water on it to help it stay fresh, can I do that with gluten free or is it really a bake and eat the same day without the gluten in the flour?

I make gluten free cakes etc and treat them the same as gluten containing ones . I think a gf song or cake would last quite a few days in a tin but in my house it doesn't gets the chance as always eaten .
The day before would be fine and I'm sure your FIL will be delighted with it .

Thanks. I'll give it a go.

I make gluten free cake quite often and as only ds and I here to eat it I can say that the cakes containing ground almond last longer as it helps retain the moisture. GF flour seems to mean cakes dry out very quickly. Hth. Enjoy the cake
