My new gluten free yellow butter cake recipe is perfect for this gluten free checkerboard cake. You don’t want to use a thin batter in a checkerboard cake because when you remove the divider ring the batters will run into one another. Yes. You need a special ring for this recipe. I have linked to the Wilton’s Checkerboard Cake Pan Set in the ingredients list. It is so fun to make this cake. Don’t feel intimidated as it is not complicated at all. It turned out very moist and delicious. You may skip the chocolate and add another flavored extract or food coloring to the other half of the batter. You can make it to fit any holiday color scheme. Be creative and enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Checkerboard Cake Recipe”

Gluten Free Yellow Butter Cake

Gluten Free Cake with Dairy Free Whipped Cream

I already have a Gluten Free Yellow Cake Recipe on this site, but it calls for my Self-Rising Gluten Free Cake Flour Blend. Since creating that recipe over two years ago, I find that my Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend Recipe works much better in gluten free cake recipes, provided you add a bit more oil or butter compared to gluten cakes. This yellow cake recipe is much richer than a normal yellow cake. It contains tons of butter, is moist, but is not heavy like pound cakes. Use it as a substitute for any gluten free yellow cake. Feel free to decrease the butter to make a more traditional yellow cake. Meanwhile, all of your gluten-eating friends will even enjoy this cake.
