Chocolate cake. Vanilla cake. Strawberry Jell-O Cake. If you need a cake recipe, we have one just for you!

Lemon Chiffon Cake
Lemon Chiffon Cake

Occasionally a recipe wildly exceeds my expectations. This Lemon Chiffon cake is one of those recipes. Chiffon cakes, if you've never tried one, are a cousin to angel food cakes. (Unlike Angel food cakes, Chiffon cakes use egg yolks along with whipped egg whites.) A good chiffon cake should moist and ethereally tender.

This recipe, if I do say so myself, is all of those things and more. It produces a cake that is fair better than any gluten-filled chiffon cake I've ever eaten. The cake is so wonderfully tender and flavorful! My husband said, "It is as light as a cloud." To which I replied, "I don't think clouds are this light. It is lighter than a cloud."

When one starts comparing a recipe to clouds, you know they are in love. . . . keep reading

Small Batch Very Vanilla Cupcakes
Small Batch Very Vanilla Cupcakes

As I've mentioned before, my baking is inspired by many different things. This recipe was inspired by my desire to create a small batch recipe for cupcakes. I realize that cupcake recipes that yield 24 cupcakes might be too large for some members.

And I didn't want to stop there. Sure a small batch is fine but, remember, I wrote the book on Easy Gluten-Free Baking (bad pun. sorry!). So not only did I want the recipe to be small; I wanted it to be easy. And it doesn't get much easier than this recipe. "How easy is it Elizabeth?" I hear you asking. This recipe is so easy that it doesn't even require an eclectic mixer. That's right! You can dump all the ingredients into a bowl and mix them together with a wooden spoon.

Now I don't want you to think these cupcakes are only for folks, like me, who don't have big families. These cupcakes are for everyone who loves cupcakes. They are delicate with a fantastic vanilla flavor.

And if you have a big family, you can always double the recipe!

By the way, my husband loves these cupcakes iced with chocolate icing. What icing do you like on vanilla cupcakes? Let's talk about it in the discussion forum. . . . keep reading

Brown Sugar Maple Glazed Cupcake Bites
Brown Sugar Maple Glazed Cupcake Bites

It might seem odd that I am posting a recipe for Brown Sugar Maple Cupcake Bites in March. Many people associate the flavor of maple with fall. Not me. Maple is one of those flavors that I love all year long. In fact, I find myself thinking about maple in the spring more than any other season.

As I drive around my community, I see lots of Sugar Maple Trees with plastic tubes and buckets attached to their bases. Why? People are collecting sap! It is a wonderful sign of spring. While I have never collected sap myself, my husband and I had a chance to see sap running the other day. During a walk, we heard "drip, drip, drip." Now it hadn't rained for days. As the sound grew louder we both spied a tree dripping sap from a broken limb. (Sadly we had a terrible ice storm this year that destroyed lots of beautiful trees.)

After that walk, the thought of maple was fresh in my mind. It is amazing to me how clear sap becomes wonderfully sticky, fragrant syrup. I decided that I wanted to create a recipe to honor this time of the year.

I headed into the kitchen and made delightful brown sugar cupcake bites with a maple brown sugar glaze. The cake is so tender; it almost melts in your mouth. I'll admit these cupcakes don't pack a huge maple punch. More like a whisper of maple. I guess this is like the fresh sap that runs in March , not yet full bodied but just enough to delightfully carry you along. . . . keep reading

Lemon Cupcakes with Lime Icing
Lemon Cupcakes with Lime Icing Cupcakes are everywhere! Blogs, cookbooks, "cupcakeries" and more celebrate the cupcake.

I thought it was time that gluten-free eaters got in on the fun! So, for the next week, I am celebrating "Cupcake Days" at GlutenFreeBaking.com. I'll be bringing you new, easy and delicious gluten-free cupcakes.

I'm kicking off "Cupcake Days" with a light spring-themed cupcake: Lemon Cupcakes with Lime Icing. The cupcakes are really easy to make. Simply whisk together the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and, boom, you've got a cupcake!

The icing is a nice change of pace from plain vanilla buttercream. I've used lime flavoring (you can use lime juice if you have it on hand) to create a "sweet tart" icing. Just for fun, I added a few drops of green food coloring. Of course, you don't have to do this! Either way, these cupcakes will look and taste delicious!

Hot Fudge Pudding Cake
Hot Fudge Pudding Cake



There is so much I want to tell you about this recipe. First, I need to tell you how I received it. Laurie, a long time member, had sent it--along with other recipes--for me to convert AGES ago. Poor Laurie! For some reason, I never got around to converting her recipes. Then we met at the opening of Sweet Christine's Gluten-Free Confections in November. Laurie asked if she could send her recipes to me, again. Of course, I agreed and made a mental vow to *finally* convert Laurie's recipes.


One of recipes she sent was for "Hot Pudding Cake." Have you ever heard of "Hot Pudding Cake?" I hadn't! From Laurie's description, it sounded yummy. A cake that when baked created it own sauce! Finally, I set out to convert the recipe.


Well, this recipe tested everything I thought I knew about baking. Honestly I didn't think the recipe would work! Why? Let me tell you 1. It doesn't have an egg which can be problematic in a cake. 2. It seemed like there was too much sugar. 3. You pour hot water over the batter before baking. Just one of these elements could cause a cake to fail. But all three? I did not have high hopes, to be honest.


Then I made the cake. And, of course, I was wrong. The cake not only worked, it was amazing. The batter rose above the hot fudge sauce. So, when you scoop into the cake you are rewarded with a flow of rich, fudgy sauce.


So, thanks Laurie for waiting! Your other recipes are coming! (I promise!) And enjoy this neat recipe, folks. I think you will really like it. A cake that makes sauce? Yum!

Mom's Chocolate Cake
Mom's Chocolate Cake I was tempted to call this "Egg-Free/Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake." But then I was afraid you might not try it for fear it would be dry. But this cake isn't dry AT ALL! In fact, it is so moist and flavorful that it doesn't need icing! It also happens to be my mom's favorite cake!

Apple Cake Recipe
Apple Cake Recipe This apple cake is delightful. Oddly, it reminds me of an apple pie. I think it is because of the abundant amount of apples in the cake. Seriously this cake is loaded with apples! Beneath the cinnamon-y cake, you will find a delicious layer of soft apples. Yum!
