Gluten Free Sponge Cake Using Copycat Betty Crocker Mix

Homemade Gluten Free Sponge Cake

When you wish to make a recipe that that has a lot of liquid, pudding, custard, etc., it is best to use a sponge cake versus a regular cake. Sponge cake absorbs liquid, can withstand refrigeration without becoming soggy, and is spongy/springs back when touched. This recipe provides all of that.

While experimenting on a different recipe I discovered how to use my Copycat Betty Crocker Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix to make a sponge cake. Unlike the original gluten free Betty Crocker yellow cake mix, I’ve discovered a way to use my copycat recipe to create a two-layer dessert. Usually, there is only enough to make a decent size coffee cake. You can even use this recipe to make lady fingers using this Lady Finger Pan. Soon, I will post a lady fingers recipe as well as a no-fuss tiramisu-style cake recipe using this sponge cake soon. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Sponge Cake Using Copycat Betty Crocker Mix”

My hubby misses lemon desserts since I realized I was allergic to it. So, I’m trying to make enough to freeze for him to enjoy!. I hope you enjoy them as well.
