Notes

For sugar strawberries I slice them into a bowl and then add 1-2 tablespoons of granulated sugar on top. Stir until coated with sugar and then let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

For homemade whipped cream add 1-2 cups of heavy whipping cream, ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to your mixer. Using the whisk attachment beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.

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 cream cheese pound cake recipe I added butter and cream cheese 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.

Gluten Free Hummingbird Bundt Cake

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a nine inch or larger bundt pan with coconut oil or butter and set aside.

In the bowl of your stand mixer add the granulated sugar, eggs, bananas, crushed pineapple, coconut oil, avocado oil and vanilla. Beat until the ingredients are blended together.

In a separate bowl whisk together the gluten free flour, pecans, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and sea salt. 

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and blend just until a batter forms. 

In a separate bowl beat together the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, heavy whipping cream and coconut flakes until you have a thick mixture.

Pour half of the cake batter into your greased bundt pan. Next scoop tablespoons of the filling into the center of your cake batter evenly around the bundt pan. Pour the rest of your cake batter over the filling.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes. The cake will be browned and a toothpick will come out clean when the cake is done.

Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then carefully transfer the cake to a cooling rack.

Let the cake cool completely before pouring the glaze over top.

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 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.

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.
