This cake worked perfectly! Quick, easy, and delicious! I used 1 cup of white rice flour and 1/2 a cup of tapioca flour. I baked the cake in a loaf pan (for 50 mins) as I'm new to GF baking and don't have a proper cake pan! It turned out great though and I sliced it up and poured chocolate glaze over it for Thanksgiving Dinner. I made a test cupcake with it and it tasted great so hopefully the in-laws gobble it up! I will definitely used this recipe again.

Wonderful and easy! This reminds me of the wacky cake recipe. We're egg free here so the first time I used Ener-G egg replacer(1bsp + 4tbsp water) and then the next time i used applesauce(for 2 eggs so 1/2 cup). I also added some chocolate chunks and made them into cupcakes. I baked for maybe 17min. I also used Bobs Red Mill gluten free flour and it turned out great. When it's raw, the batter is very beany tasting but when cooked, you cant tell. It turned out so delicious. All my kids loved it and only 1 is gluten free. Thanks!!

I lused this recipe to make cupcakes, and I loved them! They were for a work function and no one knew they weren't "normal", except of course for the fact that I was eating them :) I used Recipe #256259 for the flour and Recipe #22181 for the icing. I had already added xantan gum to the, which ended up doubling the amount called for in this recipe. The result was moist, tender cupcakes. I will stick with that amount going forwards. The recipe made exactly 12 cupcakes and I baked them for 18 minutes. Thanks Queen Bead for a terrific recipe!

Liked the ease of making this cake. I doubled the ingredients, except the baking soda using 3 tsps. I may try it with baking powder instead as I could taste the baking soda. This then made 2 9inch round cakes. These were then sandwiched together with a coconut frosting. The contrast of the dark chocolate ?? and coconut frosting went well together. Family enjoyed it.

I've been experimenting with gluten free cooking since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 1988. My sweet tooth made me highly motivated to convert my favorite recipes.
My husband and I have been married 30 years. Our two grown children have vacated the house, which frees up more furniture for our three cats to sleep on.
At the moment I've been waiting for a double lung transplant for 2 years, 7 months. Not much energy for cooking, so fast and easy recipes are a must.
