Use this Gluten-Free Cake Flour Recipe in place of all-purpose flour to adapt cake recipes and make them gluten-free.
How to make gluten-free cake flour
This gluten-free flour recipe uses rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch and guar gum. Gluten-free cake flour creates a less sticky batter that is perfect for making gluten-free cupcakes, cakes, muffins, and more. Xanthan gum produces a thick batter that will not pour easily into a cake pan and will not produce a smooth top. I realize that keeping two different gums on hand can be annoying, but you will be pleasantly surprised at the quality of your cakes when you use guar gum as the binder in them.

You can use this as a substitute for all-purpose flour or cake flour in many of your favorite cake recipes to adapt them and make them gluten-free. Use a one to one ratio when substituting this flour in cake recipes.

I don’t use this flour recipe when making cookies, brownies, and quick breads because it doesn’t make a sticky batter. You can find the gluten-free all-purpose flour recipe here that I use for cookies, brownies, and quick breads.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
