On my Icelandic allergy blog (fullt af mat) I posted this Icelandic Marriagebliss cake known in Iceland as hjónabandssæla. It is a great oatmeal cake that we love to bake frequently. Traditionally we use rhubarb jam but I haven’t found a jam that doesn’t taste good in this cake!

I wanted to translate this into English since there aren’t many recipes of this cake online in English that are correct and I haven’t seen any that are gluten free and vegan.

Ingredients

• 85 gr gluten-free oats
• 65 gr gluten-free flour (I use Dove white bread flour)
• 50 gr rice flour (I use Dove rice flour)
• 60 gr brown sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 90 gr vegan butter (or another suitable butter alternative)
• Jam

Instructions

1. Mix everything well together, except for the jam.
2. Grease the baking dish with vegan butter. I use a baking dish that is 27×18 cm
3. Firmly press 1/3 of the dough into the dish.
4. Carefully spread the jam over it.
5. Crumble the rest of the dough on top.
6. Bake at 180°C for 20-25 minutes.

Enjoy!
