Naked Gluten Free Japanese Christmas Cake Recipe

Gluten Free Japanese Christmas Cake

In Japan, on Christmas Eve, they traditionally serve Christmas cake, made of sponge cake, covered in whipped cream and topped with strawberries. Sometimes it was decorated with chocolate or Santa Clause. It was a symbol of Western modernity and a high social status as they were expensive. Since it’s inception, these cakes have become affordable. They are also available in multiple variations, not just whipped cream and strawberries. I knew nothing about this tradition until Julie asked me for a sponge cake recipe so that one of her sons could make a gluten free Japanese Christmas Cake covered in Cool Whip for school. I forwarded her my Recipe for Gluten Free Sponge Cake. Continue reading “Naked Gluten Free Japanese Christmas Cake Recipe”

Gluten Free Baking Cartoon

Gluten Free Baking Cartoon by Carla Spacher

I shared a cartoon made by  on my Facebook page a few days ago and tens of thousands of people liked it. I rarely share anything other than recipes, but I was captivated by it.

Today, I woke up feeling like a wanted to call into work and say that I am sick, but I wasn’t, and I work for myself. So, needless to say, I took part of the day off and stayed in my jammies. It was the perfect day to do so, as I didn’t have any work to do that was due today. Continue reading “Gluten Free Baking Cartoon”

Gluten Free Gingerbread Christmas Tree

Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookie Christmas Tree

I’ve never been a fan of gingerbread cookies or houses when I consumed gluten, probably because people like to make them sturdy, which means dry in my book. This recipe is pretty sturdy, but moist inside. I love them. Last year, you couldn’t stop me and my husband from grabbing a piece of the gluten free gingerbread house I made using the same recipe. Delish! However, houses are a lot of work. Why not make a tree instead? If you’re ambitioius, make both! Continue reading “Gluten Free Gingerbread Christmas Tree”

Gluten Free Cake with Decorations

Once you find some wonderful Gluten Free Recipes, you may wish to decorate some of them. Cakes, cupcakes, donuts, and cookies, look more celebratory and inviting with a little color. It is fairly easy to read a label to determine whether or not a decorating product for cakes and cookies contain gluten. However, if you are super-sensitive to gluten you probably wish to avoid any form of cross contact with glutenous products made in the same manufacturing facility.

Traditional Gluten Free Panettone Recipe

Buttery Gluten Free Panettone

I recently made a large-size Gluten Free Panettone (pronounced pan uh tony) in an angel food cake pan. Panettone is a rich, buttery Italian yeast-cake prepared during the Christmas season. I usually make panettone more like bread than cake as I did in the above recipe link. That version has a crunchy crust, much like homemade bread. However, I figured that many of you would prefer to have a traditional recipe with a soft, buttery texture. Continue reading “Traditional Gluten Free Panettone Recipe”
