You make them in a microwave in just 15 to 30 seconds each! It can be a life-saver when a dessert goes wrong or you run out of time to make a dessert at all.

Three-Layer Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cup Cake

Three-Layer Gluten Free Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting

The first time I made this cake, I used 5-1/2-inch round cake pans that I found on eBay for a steal of a deal. However, for my husband’s upcoming birthday party, I made an 8-inch three-layer version and froze it. I decorated this one differently as I needed to leave room for the birthday message. It’s a great cake to make in advance. You can defrost it the night before the event, covered, at room temperature. This cake is perfect for Valentine’s Day as well if your sweetheart is peanut-butter-cup-lover.

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”
