BS: Wheat free Christmas cake

My wife eats wheat free, and whenever I have tried wheat free Christmas cake in the past I have found it to be quite disgusting. However, we bough some from Sainsbury's and it is very good indeed, with excellent icing!!

Is it made with rice flour?

Aren't there torts or is it tortes made with almond flour or ground almonds? Sounds good. mg

The wrapping was thrown away, but I think my wife may have bought some more so I'll check.

Tortes (not torts -- those are legal) are frequently made with ground almonds or ground hazelnuts mixed with flour and sugar.

My mom used to get a fruitcake from Cincinnatti that was made with nothing but fruit. It was pretty good. I bake for a friend with a wheat allergy. She was the one who told me that the best substitute was Barley Flour and Spelt.
