1. Mix all three Liana gluten-free flours thoroughly with baking soda and orange peel.
2. Pour in the maple syrup, softened butter, oil and vanilla paste. Make a compact dough, which you then work on a silicone mat.
3. Roll out approximately 90% of the dough between two sheets of baking paper and transfer to a 26 cm diameter springform pan. The pan does not need to be greased. Press the dough firmly against the edges and prick with a fork to help it hold its shape during baking.
4. Clean the strawberries and rhubarb, cut them into pieces and sweeten with cane sugar and maple syrup.
5. Spread the fruit mixture over the prepared dough, sprinkle with crumbs from the remaining dough and bake at 175 °C for approximately 35-45 minutes.
