How to Make Gluten Free Yellow Cake

This recipe is for people who are allergic to gluten. This recipe for gluten free yellow cake yields 2 8 or 9 inch round layers or about 24 cupcakes. You want to make sure that the baking powder that you use is gluten free. As well as the vanilla extract. This recipe was given to me by a friend who is allergic to gluten and loves cake.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 1/2 cups white rice flour
• 3/4 cup tapioca flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 teaspoons gluten free baking powder
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/4 cups white sugar
• 2/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons gluten-free vanilla extract

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

2. Grease and rice flour two 8 or 9 inch round cake pans.

3. If you are making cupcakes I would advise using aluminum cupcake holders. they will help keep your cupcakes moist. They also make clean up very easy.

4. To make the rice flour less grainy combine it with the milk and let sit while you mix rest of ingredients.

5. Mix the tapioca flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and xanthan gum together and set aside.

6. Mix the eggs, sugar, and mayonnaise until fluffy. Add the flour mixture, milk mixture and vanilla and mix well.

7. Spread batter into the prepared pans.

8. Add a bowl of water to the oven while cooking gluten free. It adds moisture while you're baking so the cake will be less dry.

9. Bake for 25 minutes.

10. Cakes are done when a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

11. Let the cakes (or cupcakes) cool completely before icing.
