This cake is dry and does not have much flavor. <br/>However, if you add 1/2 cup Orange Juice and half an orange worth of zest to it it is FABULOUSE!<br/>Enjoy!

My husband has Celiac's and over the years I've yet to find a really delicious vanilla/yellow cake recipe. It was his birthday last week and I wanted to try and use the rice flour I had on hand for something. I went off of what the other reviewer said about it being dry and flavorless, so I made some adjustments. Added: 1/4 cup of milk 2 1/2 teaspoons of sweetened condensed milk I didn't have cane sugar so I replaced it with: 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup white sugar The cake turned out moist, dense, and delicious! It's actually one of the best cakes I've made with or without gluten, it was a big hit! I topped it with homemade cream cheese icing. This will now be my go-to for cake. It would be really good with strawberries and whipped cream too...

The ease and taste of these cupcakes is amazing. They came out really dense and dry. More of the consistency of a sugar cookie. Not soft, moist, or cakey. Will definitely make again with some alterations.

I used ghee too, as its a healthier option, and organic agave nectar, for the flour, I added 1 cup rice flour and 1/4 cup coconut flour, lemon juice as well. It turned out amazing, just munching them while am typing.....

Tweaks: Thanks to Marie L, I added two bananas on my first try. I also needed to use ghee instead of butter for my son who doesn't tolerate milk protein. I carefully blended in my food processor (did not want to over-mix!) which made it easier. It only took 30 minutes- was on the verge of getting too brown at that point. Watch the time! It was a huge hit- the report was "delicious and filling." Even the batter smelled amazing. I can't wait to try the orange juice/peel for the next one. The need for something to moisten the original recipe actually makes it very fun. I liked that it was made from simple, fresh ingredients. I prefer using brown rice flour over the mixed flours, and the store-bought gluten-free treats bother my son most of the time as well.
