"Yeast is the beast". Since 5 years, we are on GFCF diet successfully. I used to bake breads, cakes, cupcakes, muffins and cookies for my son. My son had yeast issues but still I could not control his sugar intake as he loves sweet goodies. I tried several recipes by replacing sugar with stevia, honey, agave nectar, but was never successful. I tried xylitol first time and my recipe was perfect. Finally, I have recipe for sugar free vanilla cake.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup coconut oil
3/4 cup xylitol
1 cup brown rice flour
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp flaxseed meal
1 tsp flaxseed meal
3 eggs
1 tbsp. gluten-free baking powder
few drops vanilla extract
1 tbsp. coconut milk
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease and flour (rice flour) an 8-inch round or square cake pan.
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
- Beat the eggs with coconut oil in a separate bowl. Mix the coconut milk and vanilla extract in the egg oil mixture.
- Stir in the dry ingredients and mix it until it is a smooth batter.
- Put the batter in the prepared pan and place the pan in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until just firm to the touch.
