I was introduced to the original version of this cake many years ago, and I loved it simplicity, its moist crumb, and its incredible taste. Traditionally made with a yellow cake mix, it required minimal measuring and could be thrown together quickly.  The gluten-free version is even better than the original, and this recipe only requires a few extra steps since it doesn't use a cake mix.

After baking with many different gluten-free flour blends over the years, I learned that many of them deliver inferior results. I wasted lots of time and money and disappointed some very discerning palates in my family. I also learned that with the right gluten-free flour blend,* most standard recipes are easily adapted. This recipe is an adaptation of a recipe I found here .    Gluten-Free Salted Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars   Printable Page yield:   makes 20 to 24 bars total time:  2 hours In g redients:                                                                                Crust 1 cup unsalted butter or coconut oil, softened 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar 2 1/2 cups gluten-free flour* 1/2 teaspoon salt   Filling 3...

Several years ago  my body began to rebel against wheat and dairy, suddenly reacting to those once innocuous substances with joint pain, inflammation, and gastrointestinal problems. I had to rely on popular, but often disappointing, gluten-free and dairy-free recipes on the web. So I began my food blog. As a cosmetic scientist, I have been able to bring my formulation know-how into the kitchen, experimenting, tweaking, and creating paleo and gluten-free recipes. And I have found ways to modify my old recipes to accommodate the lack of wheat and dairy. Here is a recipe for gluten-free cornbread dressing (with the cornbread recipe posted just below the dressing recipe). I hope you enjoy! GLUTEN-FREE CORNBREAD DRESSING First I gather all of the ingredients. Onions and celery go for a spin in the food processor. I don't process all of the onions and celery, but set some aside, cut into large pieces, to stuff into the turkey cavity. Garlic is put through the pres...

I have longed for a gluten-free waffle that is both crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. This recipe is a success! It is the result of lots of experimentation and failure with many flour blends. (Thank you, family o' mine, for enduring this mad scientist and the constant presence of a testing lab in our kitchen. And thanks, Mama, for the cool, nerdy coffee mug!)  :-) Printable Recipe Gluten-free Waffles Yields 4-6 servings 2 eggs 2 cups kefir or buttermilk (or 2 tablespoons vinegar added to milk to make 2 cups soured milk) 1 tablespoon honey or  coconut sugar  (or 3-4 pinches of this stevia ) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup gluten-free flour blend (recipe follows) 1/2 cup flaxseed meal 1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup extra virgin coconut oil, melted Preheat waffle iron.
