Title: Cake Recipe Needed
Post by: spacecanada on March 22, 2017, 04:03:47 PM
My husband's birthday is next week. I always make him a chocolate cake. Alas, with my recent reactions to wheat and sorghum, I now need a new reliable cake recipe free from the following:
Wheat Peanuts Tree nuts Sesame Dairy (can use soy milk or margarine) Eggs Potato Sorghum
I don't have access to fancy flours. Someone in my local group posted recipes using coconut flour and quinoa flour, neither of which I can find safe for me (no shared facility with PN, TN, potato). I currently have brown rice flour, tapioca flour, chickpea flour, oat flour, flax meal, cornstarch, and the usual baking stuff: baking powder, cocoa, etc.
Allergic Living recipes almost all call for sorghum and/or potato. Namaste mixes turn out chewy when I use applesauce or flax to replace the eggs.
I am sure someone here has a recipe that will work! Spam me with recipes.

oh...I know ones out there....
I did one years ago - like 10 years ago for DS
it was like a wacky cake - with rice flour
and I remember because one parent took a bite - looked at me and said - yum - rice flour - I love this - and in a room half full of Asians - none of them said anything - but this Persian guy nailed it! lol
anyway - it was good - very moist - I think I threw out all my GF recipes - but I'll check when I get home

People keep mentioning wacky cake... I have no idea what that is!

The sponge? It really is. Dove's Farm has gluteniferous variations on their website. The sponge cake was what I used for the middle layer of Ronan's ice cream cakes for years.

OMG I didn't realize my phone was still autocorrecting your name to that. I had no idea until seeing the quote. That's so funny. I'm just hoping that all Krakatoa have been good people.
Okay--I tried to have my phone type Krasnoyarsk by typing Krasota, but it autocorrected to something else, and I am leaving it. Totally leaving it! But it was west of Java.

I was able to use the Enjoy Life all-purpose flour in my usual cake recipe (which, I guess would be a wacky cake?) and they turned out pretty good. A little crumblier than usual and they took longer to bake, but the taste was decent and the texture was lighter than I expected for GF, which was good. My husband was very pleased.
Now, to make my own GF all-purpose flour mix. I'm not spending $11 for 3 cups of flour on a regular basis. Nope.
I'm still going to try these other recipes when I have more time.
