Cakes are, so far, my biggest GF challenge. I have a few go to recipes that work well every time and a few recipes that I can't get to work no matter what I do (I won't be sharing those, sorry). My favorites are below.
Chocolate Cake (Brown Rice)
Chocolate Cake (Brown Rice)
I'm still working on this formula but it's pretty good right now and so many people love chocolate cake that I feel like I should include it.
I've gotten away from this recipe ever since I started working on the white rice version which is a much better cake.
Madeleines
Madeleines
These little cakes (some call them cookies, but the texture is much more cake-like) are just fun, fun shape, fun flavors and fun to eat. You need a special pan to make them really fun, but they can be made in cupcake pans as well. If your making them in a cupcake pan be sure to use only the amount of batter given in the recipe.
Old Fashioned Carrot Cake
Old Fashioned Carrot Cake
I love really good carrot cake and my family used to make a wheat based recipe that was the best I ever had. We stopped making it for a few years when my extended family went GF.
It was few years later that the recipe was converted to GF using a brown rice flour blend and a few years later I changed it up even more to this version. I've been told many times that folks had no idea they just ate a GF cake.
Spiced Cake with Fresh Fruit
Spiced Cake with Fresh Fruit
For many years I've been making a cake from our church cookbook originally called, "Jewish Apple Cake". See my Yellow Cake with Fresh Fruit recipe. I thought this was the apple cake recipe my family has used for many many years only to find out it is not the right recipe.
The correct recipe from the same cookbook is called, "Fresh Apple Spice Cake". The gluten free version of this cake is this one. The two recipes are very close but this one is drier and the "batter" often is much more like a dough.
Whoopie Pies
Whoopie Pies
Cupcakes are great, but Whoopie Pies are so much better because they have plenty of frosting in the middle of them instead of just at one end. I don't like Whoopie Pies with an overly sweet filling so I tend to fill them with the Creamy Whipped Frosting or Cream Cheese Frosting.
If you love Whoopie Pies but generally find them too thick, try the Whoopie Cookies recipe.
Whoopie Pies (comma) Pumpkin
Whoopie Pies (comma) Pumpkin
During the fall in New England, and so many other places, pumpkin and squash are so common they can be bought on the side of the road. With squash so readily available, it makes sense to incorporate some of it into as many treats as possible. I suggest making these Whoopie Pies with Marshmallow Cream or Marshmallow Frosting.
Don't take the "(comma)" too seriously. 😁
Yellow Cake with Fresh Fruit (Jewish Apple Cake)
Yellow Cake with Fresh Fruit (Jewish Apple Cake)
I have twisted and turned this recipe all kinds of ways with different fruits. Some of the variations are included here. As I find new favorites I'll be sure share them.
The picture below is the blueberry alternate formula.
