Gluten Free White Cake Food

GLUTEN-FREE WHITE CAKE

Steps:

• Preparing to bake: Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lay down greased parchment paper into two 9-inch cake pans.
• Combining the dry ingredients: Whisk together the flour mix, psyllium, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Mixing the wet ingredients: Stir together the milk and vanilla.
• Creaming the butter and sugar: Put the butter into the bowl of stand mixer. Whirl the butter until it has spread out in the bowl. Add the sugar. Mix the butter and sugar together until the sugar has entirely disappeared into the butter and has come creamy.
• Finishing the batter: With the stand mixer running on low, add 1/3 of the dry ingredients. When there is no flour visible, add 1/2 the milk. Repeat, ending with the last of the dry ingredients. Carefully, scrape the cake batter into a large bowl.
• Beating the egg whites: Clean out the bowl of the stand mixer and dry it thoroughly. Add the egg whites. Turn on the stand mixer, with the whisk attachment on. Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites. Let the stand mixer run until the egg whites turn white and start to thicken. Pour in the sugar and continue whisking the egg whites until they have reached soft peaks.
• Folding in the egg whites: Pour 1/3 of the egg whites into the cake batter. Slowly, with sure strokes, use a rubber spatula to fold the egg whites into the cake batter. When there is no visible sign of egg whites left, pour another 1/3 of the egg whites. Continue doing this until the cake batter is fluffy and increased in volume. Stir in the last and stop stirring.
• Baking the cake: Pour the cake batter equally into the 2 cake pans. Slide them into the oven and bake until the top of the cakes has a little athletic jiggle, and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Allow the cakes to cool in the pan. Run a butter knife around the edges of the cake pans to loosen the cake. Carefully, turn the cakes onto cooling racks.
• Pour all the flours into a large container. (Restaurant supply stores sell large plastic containers that fit this purpose well. You could also use a large glass jar.) Shake and shake and shake harder until all the flours have become one color.

GLUTEN-FREE TOFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Combine the dates and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until the dates soften and the mixture is jam-like, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the baking soda and let cool to room temperature.
• Whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the brown sugar and beat until fully incorporated, about 4 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the eggs until just combined, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula as necessary.
• With a rubber spatula, fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the cooled date mixture, ginger and vanilla. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and gently tap against the countertop to remove any air bubbles. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool completely.
• Make the sauce: Combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, vanilla and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring, until the butter is melted. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring, until the mixture is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 6 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Slice the cake into squares. Top each square with the sauce and whipped cream.

GLUTEN-FREE ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Sift rice flour, powdered sugar, and xanthan gum 3 times with a sieve.
• Beat egg whites on high speed in a very large glass, metal, or ceramic bowl with high sides until foamy. When they start to get fluffy, add cream of tartar and salt. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Mix in white sugar and vanilla.
• Dollop some egg whites into a very large, flat bowl, like a punch bowl. Sprinkle some flour mixture on top. Continue to layer egg whites with the flour mixture, then gently fold together. Spoon batter into a round, 2-part angel food cake pan.
• Bake until the top is golden brown and a knife comes out clean when inserted in the center, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let rest for no longer than 5 minutes, then immediately flip it upside down and rest it on a wine bottle until completely cool, 1 to 2 hours.
• When cool, turn the cake over and run a knife around the edge if needed to loosen. Flip over onto a cake stand and remove from the pan.
