Gluten Free Apple and Berry Cake

June 5, 2013 by Sophia 25 Comments

A good friend of mine is gluten intolerant and I continue to make cakes that have gluten in them, so to make up for constantly making food she can’t eat, I made her a cake she can.
I don’t think I could do it, not eat gluten I mean, I love my bread and cakes to much. I know there are all these special products and flours you can buy these days but imagine going to the local bakery and not being able to buy a loaf of bread or a cake. Thats my kind of nightmare.
I am going to try to experiment with different flours as the flour I used tasted like it had to much soda in it, Ally said she couldn’t taste it, so I think you must just get use to the taste. If anyone out there knows if it was the flour I used or just the way it is with all gluten flours I would love to know. Also can you recommend a good Gluten free flour to use?

Enjoy xxx

    Hi Sophia

    Yeah Agreed must be hard to look for alternatives to yummy bread. Will look out some of the families recipe’s for you as the little ones seem to have intolerances to most things these days. My sister has many, little ones and recipes.

    Keep up the good work

    Always G

      Hi G,
      Yeah I love my bread and butter couldn’t live without it. I do wonder why more people are coming intolerant. That would be good, I’d like to find out more about it.

    Looks so yummy! I feel the same way. I don’t know what I’d do if I were gluten intolerant, but I’m sure your cake would make up for it! (:

      Hey Monica,
      It would be so hard, I think I would have to keep eating it. At least these days there is a lot more choice for people. Hoe your keeping well.

    Hi Sophia!
    Your blog is gorgeous. I’m a coeliac and a pastry chef! I’m also dairy intolerant and sugar free *health nerd*. I recommend the ‘Has no’ flour range from Aldi for gluten free flour. It has a fine texture and is a fantastic substitute for gluten (it even rises in all cakes!). I also tend to add 1/4 almond meal to 3/4 cup of flour to thicken the flour mixture. Email me anytime for gf cooking advice, I am a cooking obsessed human! Peace, Tess xx

    Hi, I believe your web site might be having internet browser compatibility
    issues. Whenever I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine however,
    if opening in Internet Explorer, it’s got some overlapping issues.

    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Apart from that,
    fantastic website!
