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...

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.
