Heavenly Gluten Free Pound Cake

Gluten Free Pound Cake

This gluten-free pound cake recipe is deserving of a spot in my upcoming cookbook, “Carla’s Best 125 Gluten-Free Recipes“. I know you’ll enjoy it! All of the ingredients come together perfectly to make a lighter and moister pound cake. As with many baked gluten-free goods, baking in smaller amounts achieves surprising results. A tube or bundt pan creates a narrower cake; therefore, an incredible texture, while keeping its buttery flavor. The crunchy thin crust is a pleasant addition. Serve this cake to a crowd or slice and freeze for when cravings strike. Continue reading “Heavenly Gluten Free Pound Cake”

Gluten Free New York-Style Pizza with a Thick or Thin Crust

Gluten Free New York Style Pizza

I have been pretty happy with my gluten free grilled pizza as a decent substitute for the lack of gluten, until now. This latest masterpiece (yes, I’ll toot my own horn here), is amazing! It has an artisan bread texture and creates the traditional cracks on the bottom of the crust, just like New York-style pizza. Grilling or using a pizza stone (if not both) is ideal for creating a gluten-like texture, which gives off a gluten-like flavor. I have been waiting to have a light bulb moment, and I finally did.

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.

Gluten Free Devil's Food Cake

Moist devil’s food cake is one of those desserts that you say you’re just going to have one bite, but you end up finishing the entire piece. This cake is no different, even when made dairy-free. It was rated highly by my recipe testers for my upcoming cookbook, “Carla’s Best 125 Gluten Free Recipes“.  See the Tips section for a chocolate version.

Gluten Free Chicken Kebabs – Kabobs with Honey Marinade

Gluten Free Chicken Kabobs

One of my Facebook followers requested a recipe for a sweet and sticky chicken kebab / kabob marinade. Honey or sugar and some liquid can create stickiness, but honey or agave is the best. Gluten-free barbecue sauce would also work if that’s all you have on hand. However, honey or honey and mustard are awesome. It’s great due to my tomato allergies. In this recipe, I use lots of black pepper. Depending to whom I am serving it to, I may even add a little gluten free chipotle or hot sauce. Yum! Let me know how you like it.  Continue reading “Gluten Free Chicken Kebabs – Kabobs with Honey Marinade”

Easy Gluten Free White Bean and Chicken Chili

Tomato-Free White Chicken Chili

White kidney beans may be difficult to find in your local store, but you can use any white beans to make this flavorful chicken chili. I don’t know what it is about this recipe, but I am addicted to it! It has just the right amount of everything…garlic, sweetness, tang, broth, and heat. 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! (I buy from Vitacost.com. I recently bought some for half off!) Continue reading “Easy Gluten Free White Bean and Chicken Chili”

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”
