Make this gluten free layer cake recipe filled with homemade strawberry filling of strawberry jam. The cream cheese frosting is to die for! It is my favorite frosting. If you make the homemade filling be sure to use the cooking method versus the blended method. You will want it nice and thick. I cheated and used jam. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this recipe.

Gluten Free Puff Pastry Recipe

I have had many requests for a gluten free puff pastry recipe that does not take 3 days to make. This one can be made in one day and used for pastries like Danish as well as savory dishes such as beef wellington. One of my cookbook recipe testers stated, “Some things are worth waiting/working for.”

Phyllo Dough is very thin sheets of dough. Even though both recipes are actually gluten free puff pastry, it is the closest thing we can use in gluten free baking. There are differences between the two recipes. Some of the differences in this gluten free puff pastry dough recipe is that it contains butter in the dough, more flour in the butter block, less butter for the butter block, much more yeast in the dough, and the addition of eggs. Once the butter is added and folded, there are only three rolls and folds to perform. You only have to fold in half or in thirds, no fancy envelope folds. Be sure to read the Tips section and the entire recipe prior to making it. I used this gluten free puff pastry recipe in my Gluten Free Danish Recipe and more.

UPDATE: Look for this recipe in my upcoming cookbook, Carla’s Best 125 Gluten-Free Recipes.

Classic Gluten Free Minestrone Soup

It may at first appear that would not need a gluten free minestrone soup recipe and that it is naturally gluten free. However, you will need to know which brands of broth are gluten free, as well as gravy enhancers, if using. In addition, when storing leftover soup containing pasta, it tends to get soft and mushy. To prevent this, using my homemade egg noodle recipe avoids this problem. You may also cook the pasta separately. Check out the brands of pasta I enjoy most.
