Gluten Free Yellow Cake

"This is such a great yellow cake! I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com and thought I would share on here. Everyone that has tried this cake has said that they don't know the difference between the gluten free kind and the regular kind! Hope it will help those with those dessert cravings who can't have gluten/wheat!"

  1. YUM! YUM! YUM! Thank you for posting this cake recipe. It made excellent cupcakes and opened the door to so many more ideas like cinnamon apple upside down cake! OOOO I can't wait!
     
  2. This recipe is very tasty!!! I made cupcakes for my son's birthday party and served them to 8 other non-gluten-free kids and a number of adults. They were a hit with everyone!!!
     
  3. This recipe was very easy to follow & turned out just great! I made them into little cupcakes and they were such a hit (especially with the people that DIDN'T have the gluten allergy!). I even had left over batter that I added into a loaf pan (I was without a cake pan at the time) and it had to cook about 40-45 minutes, but came out just as good as the cupcakes! Thanks
     
  4. This was the first gluten free baking recipe that I tried . . . within two weeks of my daughter's Celiac diagnosis. I made cupcakes and they turned out great. They also freeze well (un-iced) so that you can make a batch and save some for a later date. I also buy my white rice flour at an asian market. It's cheaper and a finer grind which yields a better cake.
     
  5. Thank you for sharing! I was giddy with joy to have such a "real cake" cake. It's hard to bake and cook for everyone and not get to enjoy the good stuff. Now, I had to tell the family to leave MY CAKE ALONE and go get your own! THANKS! I finally get cake! YAY!

Tweaks

  1. This came out a little dense and tasted too eggy for DH and I. I did replace the milk with a little less rice milk to be dairy free. I used gluten free baking powder and guar gum in an equal amount in place of xanthan gum because of a corn allergy. I used helmans olive oil mayonnaise to be soy free and alcohol free vanilla extract. I had to use a loaf pan like another reviewer baking the cake for 45 minutes. The top of the cake got a little dark by the time it was cooked through. 2nd day DD (toddler) and I ate this cut into large cubes with fresh hulled strawberries and almond milk for a good dessert. I don't think I will make this again because of the eggy taste.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in TX with my husband, Tim and mischevious cat, Penelope :) I work at a small bookstore for a non profit organzation -- not really what I want to do for the rest of my life, but I feel that I am where I should be at this moment in my life. I hope to go back to grad school to work on a Masters in Counseling this coming fall (2008). That is my true interest and passion, and I think I'd kick myself if I never did it!! I look forward to the next adventure in my life -- whatever that may be :) My loves: my hubby, penelope, being with friends, my huge family, growing in my relationship with Christ, coffee, card making, MUSIC, movies, cooking, organizing & cleaning (freak..I know), reading, long talks, psychology, learning, counseling, people, spending too much time on Recipezaar (!!!), finding new recipes to tweak for my gluten intolerance, nice restraunts, wine.....
