Double-Frosted Gluten Free Red Velvet Cake Recipe

Double-Frosted Gluten Free Red Velvet Cake

This gluten free red velvet cake recipe is moist and luscious. Red Velvet is known for its richness. While not everyone has the time to make a three-layer, double-frosted cake, when you wish to impress guests, this is the cake to make. When time is short, make a single frosted cake and/or make a naked cake (no frosting on the sides). The cake, as well as frosting recipes, were raved about by my cookbook recipe testers. If you usually use ready-made frosting, you may never again.

Note: Also find this gluten-free recipe in my upcoming cookbook Carla’s Best 125 Gluten-Free Recipes. Continue reading “Double-Frosted Gluten Free Red Velvet Cake Recipe”

Gluten-Free Allergen-Free Devil’s Food Cake

Gluten Dairy and Egg-Free Devil's Food Cake Recipe

While developing recipes for my cookbook, I created a traditional Copycat Betty Crocker Devil’s Food Cake Mix recipe. At the time, I wasn’t sure on the theme of my cookbook. I thought I’d give an egg-free version a try. My husband who loves devil’s food cake enjoyed it as did I. The one recipe tester who tried it did not use a mixer, which would have made it lighter. She just mixed it all up in a bowl. As you can see in her photo, it still looks delicious, but a little dense. She really enjoyed it, even though she is not on an egg-free diet. She rated it 10/10 in texture, 9/10 in flavor, and 10/10 in appearance. Her husband thought it was too moist. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

I’ve made this about three times now, but I kept forgetting to share it with you until now. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have. It’s so easy because you use canned beans!
