We now have our go-to Gluten-Free Birthday Cake recipe!
I have finally created a gluten-free vanilla cake that I love! I love the consistency, the crumb, and the flavor. It can be made into a white cake by using egg whites or a yellow cake by using whole eggs. It is so delicious that it can be eaten plain, but it is magnificent when frosted.
And now I am looking for excuses to make it. Thank goodness we are in the middle of party season!
Yes, that is a bowl lid serving as my cake plate! And with the inverted bowl over the top of the cake, I created a make-do cake carrier.

Tastes so good! I substituted coconut flour for the tapioca flour and xantham gum for guar gum, as well as corn starch for potato starch, since that is what I had at home! Worked great! Thanks for the recipe!

Can I use GF all purpose flour?
Cheri says
What is the potato starch? I found the white rice flour. I also found that I can make my own white rice flour and tapioca flour. But I wasn’t sure about the potato starch. Thanks for any help.

You can find potato starch in the gluten-free flour section. Do not confuse it with potato flour.
Melanie says
Can I substitute xanthan gum for the guar gum?
Alea Milham says
Yes, you can use xanthan gum instead of guar gum.
