Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

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.

  • Ready In 1 hr 10 m

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) gluten-free flour*
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (3.9-ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • ¾ cup water

  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips, dusted with flour**
  • powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

DIRECTIONS
*To make my gluten-free flour blend, mix equal parts tapioca flour, superfine white rice flour, superfine brown rice flour, and sweet rice flour.

 **Dusting chocolate chips with flour will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the pan.
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and instant pudding. Add the water, butter, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream. Mix until well blended. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared Bundt pan.
  3. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar before cutting and serving.

Paleo Tortillas

Image
I've been trying to create a recipe for grain-free tortillas for some time now. My goal has been to  make a tasty tortilla/flatbread that is pliable enough to fold, strong enough to hold lots of fillings, and versatile enough to be used for both sweet and savory dishes.   My very good-natured family has endured many recipe failures along the journey, including  dry, brittle tortillas (matzo, anyone?) and some that felt like rubber. (There's nothing to compare these to. They were just weird and un-food-like. Mmmm...tasty  rubber.)  I finally found a combination of ingredients that work! And the secret ingredient is pumpkin. No, these do not taste at all like pumpkin. They have a great flavor that has met the approval of friends and family, including my teenagers! Besides adding fiber and vitamins A, C, and K, pumpkin adds moisture and binding properties. Almond flour is the protein that adds structure and stability. Tapioca starch (also called tapioca flour) lends a light

Paleo Pumpkin Muffins (Grain and Dairy Free)

I'm excited to say that I finally perfected my pumpkin muffin recipe! My family and I are fans of all things pumpkin, so finding lots of paleo pumpkin recipes became a priority when we embarked on this new adventure. I found this recipe  from  The Gluten-free Homemaker , which was the closest to a traditional muffin that I had found among all of the paleo bloggers. I am grateful to Linda for posting this recipe! However, it wasn't as sweet or pumpkin-spicy as I like. The almond flour that I used was Bob's Red Mill, which isn't the finest almond flour on the market (I hear that Honeyville is better), so the texture of the muffin wasn't as smooth as I would like. I decided to eliminate the almond flour and use coconut and tapioca flours. I also added some coconut sugar and more pumpkin pie spice to make a sweeter, spicier muffin.  I mix the dry and wet ingredients separately. I found that I had to premix the coconut oil with the almond butter to prevent the co

Paleo Chocolate Nut Bars

Image
When we adopted the paleo lifestyle, I had to bid farewell to my beloved breakfast of Mini-Wheats and 2% milk.  Could there be a less paleo breakfast than that?  Closing this chapter of my life was no easy task, people! I've been in love with Mini-Wheats since I could eat solid foods! I had no idea what I was going to eat. Traditional granola bars were off the list. Yogurt is loaded with refined sugars and is dairy (although I break the rules on dairy where homemade kefir is concerned. More on that later...)  Bacon and eggs are awesome but  are  too heavy  for me to eat daily. M ost days  I prefer a quick, easy, and light breakfast.  That proverb about necessity being the mother of invention rings true on this primal food journey. I had to come up with something grain and dairy free for breakfast. It needed to be portable for travel to the non-paleo realms of our grain-lovin' world. It had to contain lots of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It had to be sweet, but
