    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between a cake and a bundt cake?

    There really isn't that much difference in the cake batter itself. The bundt cake recipe may call for a bit more moisture and/or baking powder as the cake is going to raise higher than a regular layer cake or sheet cake. 

    The main difference you might find is that a bundt cake tends to have a crunchier texture on the top. I also love the ease of a bundt cake. The cake gets baked in one pan and then I either drizzle it with a glaze or sprinkle powdered sugar over the top. So much easier than frosting a layer cake!

    How do I make my gluten free cakes more moist?

    Gluten free baking tends to require more moisture or oil than when you are using regular wheat flour. For this gluten free hummingbird bundt cake recipe I added coconut oil, avocado oil, banana and pineapple to make it moist and delicious.

    If you are using a cake recipe that isn't turning out moist I would suggest adding a bit more oil or butter. You can also add mashed banana or applesauce to help your baked goods have more moisture.

    Gluten Free Coconut Cake

    This Gluten Free Coconut Cake is made from scratch yet surprisingly easy to make. It makes a super moist coconut cake with a soft, fluffy crumb. If you've been searching for how to make a moist and fluffy coconut cake that truly tastes like the best coconut cake recipe, this one checks every box.

    Baked as a beautiful layer cake in round cake pans, it's the kind of homemade coconut cake that feels bakery worthy while still being an approachable easy gluten free cake recipe.

    How do I make my gluten free cakes more moist?

    Gluten free baking tends to require more moisture or oil than when you are using regular wheat flour. For this gluten free coconut cake I used coconut oil and avocado oil to make it moist and delicious.

    If you are using a cake recipe that isn't turning out moist I would suggest adding a bit more oil or butter. You can also add mashed banana or applesauce to help your baked goods have more moisture.

    Do gluten free cakes take longer to bake?

    Yes, gluten free baking in general takes a little bit longer to bake than a cake made with regular wheat flour. However, gluten free baked goods tend to brown faster. So you will want to test the cake with a tooth pick in the center to make sure it's actually done even if it looks browned.
     
    Your cake should be a nice golden brown and a tooth pick inserted in the center of the cake should come out clean. You may need to bake your cake up to 5-8 minutes more. If your cake is already very brown, but not done in the center you will need to lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees and cook longer.

    How long does gluten free coconut cake keep?

    Your gluten free coconut cake will keep for 5-7 days if you store it in an air tight container in a cool place. Remember to keep the cake out of direct sunlight. If you still have leftover cake you can freeze it for later.

    Gluten Free Cherry Almond Cake

    This Gluten Free Cherry Almond Cake is a tender and moist cake made from scratch with almond flour, butter, and almond extract, studded with juicy cherries and finished with a golden brown sugar and sliced almond topping that bakes into a lightly crisp, caramelized crust. It is the kind of gluten free cake recipe that feels elegant enough to serve for dessert but simple enough to slice and enjoy with a cup of coffee at brunch.

    Made in a nine inch springform pan, it comes together easily and is just as beautiful as it is delicious.

    The combination of almond flour and gluten free flour gives this cherry almond cake a texture that is rich and moist without being dense, and the almond extract adds a warm, nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the cherries.

    I like to use frozen cherries so I can make this cake any time of year, but fresh cherries work beautifully too when they are in season.

    Make it the day before you plan to serve it and let it rest overnight for the best flavor and texture. Whether you are serving it as a gluten free brunch recipe or a dinner party dessert, this is one of those cakes that always gets asked about.

    If you make this Gluten Free Cherry Almond Cake, I would love to hear what you think! Leave a comment below and let me know how it turned out, or tag me on Instagram so I can see your beautiful cake. This one is perfect for so many occasions so save it to your favorite Pinterest board so you always know where to find it when cherry season rolls around or you need an impressive gluten free dessert to share!

    Storage

    Store the cherry almond cake covered at room temperature for up to two days or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. The cake actually gets more moist as it sits, which makes it a great make ahead dessert. Bring it to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.

    This cake also freezes well. Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer safe bag for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

    Top Tip

    Do not skip the two step baking process for this cake. Baking the cake for the first 30 minutes before adding the sliced almonds and brown sugar topping is what gives you that perfectly golden and lightly caramelized crust on top without burning the almonds.

    If you add the topping at the beginning it will overbrown before the cake is done in the center. Pull the cake out right at the 30 minute mark, add the topping quickly, and get it back in the oven for the final 10 minutes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I make my gluten free cakes more moist?

    Gluten free baking tends to require more moisture or oil than when you are using regular wheat flour. For this gluten free cherry almond cake I used ¾ cup unsalted butter to make it moist and delicious.

    If you are using a cake recipe that isn't turning out moist I would suggest adding a bit more oil or butter. You can also add mashed banana or applesauce to help your baked goods have more moisture.

    Do gluten free cakes take longer to bake?

    Yes, gluten free baking in general takes a little bit longer to bake than a cake made with regular wheat flour. However, gluten free baked goods tend to brown faster. So you will want to test the cake with a tooth pick in the center to make sure it's actually done even if it looks browned.
     
    Your cake should be a nice golden brown and a tooth pick inserted in the center of the cake should come out clean. You may need to bake your cake up to 5-8 minutes more. If your cake is already very brown, but not done in the center you will need to lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees and cook longer.

    Can you use almond flour in cakes?

    Yes! Keep in mind that there is a difference between almond flour and almond meal. Almond flour is more finely ground and works really well in baked goods. Almond meal tends to be coarser and can give baked goods a gritty texture.

    I like to use almond flour along with gluten free flour or extra baking powder.
    Almond flour by itself in a recipe doesn't rise well. However, when you combine it with a flour that does rise well or a bit more baking powder you can get a great texture in your baking.

    Gluten Free Double Chocolate Bundt Cake

    This Gluten Free Double Chocolate Bundt Cake is rich, indulgent, and made for true chocolate lovers. With a moist chocolate bundt cake crumb and bursts of chocolate throughout, it delivers that classic death by chocolate bundt cake feel in every slice.

    After the cake has cooled use my recipe for Gluten Free Chocolate Glaze to pour over the cake.

    Storage

    After the cake has completely cooled I store in an air tight container for up to 5 days. I also love to put individual slices into freezer safe containers and freeze for a chocolate snack later.

    Top Tip

    I made this cake recipe in a mini bundt pan for individual servings. You can also make this recipe in a regular sized bundt pan. For either size pan wait until the cake has completely cooled before drizzling the chocolate glaze over top.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I make my gluten free cakes more moist?

    Gluten free baking tends to require more moisture or oil than when you are using regular wheat flour. For this recipe I added ¼ cup of coconut oil and buttermilk to make it moist and delicious.

    If you are using a cake recipe that isn't turning out moist I would suggest adding a bit more oil or butter. You can also add mashed banana or applesauce to help your baked goods have more moisture.

    What is the difference between a cake and a bundt cake?

    There really isn't that much difference in the cake batter itself. The bundt cake recipe may call for a bit more moisture and/or baking powder as the cake is going to raise higher than than a regular layer cake or sheet cake.

    The main difference you might find is that a bundt cake tends to have a crunchier texture on the top. I also love the ease of a bundt cake. The cake gets baked in one pan and then I either drizzle it with a glaze or sprinkle powdered sugar over the top. So much easier than frosting a layer cake!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I have chocolate on a Keto diet?

    Yes! Be sure you are using dark chocolate that is 70% or more cocoa solids. You will want to check the label for added sugar for each type of chocolate you try. They aren't all the same.

    One of my favorite way to eating chocolate on a Keto diet is to make my own dessert. This gives me control over the quality of cocoa powder I'm using and the type of sugar I use. It also means I can make my dessert without soy, which I've found included in a lot of the chocolate bars.

    Can I replace cocoa powder with baking chocolate in recipes?

    No. They are not a one-to-one replacement option for recipes. Cocoa powder is made with little to no cocoa butter in it. While baking chocolate has both cocoa solids and cocoa butter.

    If you need to make a substitution to use ingredients you have on hand you can use one ounce of unsweetened baking chocolate for 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder. For this recipe I would omit the extra coconut oil if you decide to use baking chocolate. You will want to melt the baking chocolate before mixing it into the cake batter in your mug.

    Top Tip

    Please keep in mind that every microwave seems to be different. I cook my mug cakes in 30 second increments so that it doesn't boil over the coffee cup or burn. The cake will rise to the edge of the coffee cup like a regular cake rises in the pan and then sink back down as it cools.
