GF Crumble Cake With Pumpkin And Berries

This was my first ever attempt to bake using chickpea flour – a wonderful gluten-free alternative to wheat flour, at least for this recipe it worked wonderfully. I am planning to experiment with it more in the future as I was pleased with the result. When I first tasted raw crumbs, the flavour of raw chickpeas was overpowering, therefore I prepared myself for a cake fail. But once it came out of the oven, the unpleasant flavour was gone and all I could taste was the spiced buttery goodness. It’s an interesting flavour nonetheless, but I enjoyed the result. Give it a go if you’re feeling adventurous.
