I’ve searched for an amazing fruit cake. I found one that was good and made it gluten free and wonderful! – well, at least to my liking. Each year, so many people receive fruit cakes and sadly they end up in the trash. Instead, using this recipe, everyone will be asking you what’s in it. The fruit and nut flavors originate from multiple sources and bring it over the top!

Chomeur, French for “unemployed” and pounding for “pudding” was originally known as the poor man’s pudding during the depression. It was created in Quebec Canada by female factory workers. This particular gluten free chomeur pudding is far from a poor man’s dessert. Pound cake-like near the surface, with a pudding texture closer to the bottom, and a maple caramel sauce that is out of this world. I’ve also added an inexpensive alternative recipe in the Tips section.

Rice flour is binding. Therefore, many gluten free bakers are searching for an alternative to rice flour blends. Oat flour is higher in protein than any other gluten free flour besides nut flours.

More importantly, this blend of ingredients is the closest you can get to traditional all-purpose flour. It’s the best in texture and flavor. Learn how to use this blend to equal traditional flour in both weight and cups.

Often, chocolate buttercream just doesn’t taste chocolatey enough. This Swiss meringue buttercream contains the perfect balance of chocolate and slightly minty flavor. So many times recipes turn out too minty, which drowns out the chocolate flavor. Not here! Just imagine a chocolate milkshake with a little peppermint. That’s exactly what this frosting tastes like. I’ve never been a mint fan, but this one I can eat straight from the mixing bowl. It’s that good!

An easy to make gluten free pecan tart. Pecan tarts make a better presentation (in my opinion) than pecan pies because they are full instead of sunken in, like so many other recipes. As you can see, this recipe is perfect as it is not sunken at all. Enjoy!

When you want to serve the very best, this no-fail recipe for gluten free brioche rolls is the key. The dough not only doubles in size during the rising period but lifts up quickly and greatly as it expands in the oven. And it does not deflate upon cooling. There is no need for them to cool. Unlike most gluten free dough, you don’t have to wait until these rolls cool to serve them as they are not gummy whatsoever. The inner dough is tender, fluffy, and buttery. Its thin crust is slightly crispy on the sides and pliable on the top, just like traditional brioche buns. I dare even gluten-eaters to tell the difference. These gluten free brioche rolls are perfection!
