Small Batch Gluten Free Pound Cake Streusel Muffins

Gluten Free Cinnamon Streusel Pound Cake Muffins

Betty Crocker makes a Cinnamon Streusel Muffin and Quick Bread Mix. It is not gluten-free. However, it provided the inspiration for these gluten free pound cake streusel muffins. I used my Heavenly Gluten Free Pound Cake Recipe but only made four muffins. There’s only two of us at home. So, if you want to make a small batch you may; or you can multiply the ingredients by three and make an entire dozen. Continue reading “Small Batch Gluten Free Pound Cake Streusel Muffins”

Gluten Free Easter Cake – Colomba Pasquale – Italian Dove Bread

This gluten free Colomba recipe may be served as a sweet bread on Easter with ham or at breakfast or brunch. It is an Italian tradition. You may form it into its traditional dove shape by using paper molds or use a standard ring baking pan as I did. This bread is tender and not as sweet as cake, but sweeter than bread. Make it with dairy or dairy-free. Add your choice of dried or glazed fruit. It’s simply delicious! It’s a little like a bear claw pastry. Happy Easter!

Gluten Free St. Patrick’s Day Cookies

This recipe for gluten free St. Patrick’s Day cookies is incredible! They’re in between a shortbread and sugar cookie. Shortbread cookies contain more butter than sugar cookies which makes them a bit softer and richer. Everyone loves these cookies. Adding a little green or Irish theme makes them that more special.

Also, be sure to read my article on Gluten Free Food Coloring at the below link. If you’re dairy-free, be sure to see my suggestions on how to make gluten free cookies to your liking using Earth Balance in the Cut-Out Cookie recipe. In addition, I have added a substitute for gluten-free meringue powder in my Royal Icing recipe. Enjoy your St. Patrick’s Day and be safe! Continue reading “Gluten Free St. Patrick’s Day Cookies”

Gluten Free Boston Cream Pie Recipe II

I created a Gluten Free Boston Cream Pie recipe using my Self-Rising Cake Flour Blend Recipe a few years back. However, after publishing the Custard-Filled Strawberry-Topped Cake Recipe recently, it got me to thinking. It appears my Gluten Free Sponge Cake Recipe truly is ideal for making a gluten free Boston cream pie recipe. It absorbs custard easily, making it super moist and tender. You can fill it with baked custard or pastry cream, which I prefer, or use packaged gluten-free pudding mix. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Boston Cream Pie Recipe II”
