Gluten-Free Dairy-Free White Cake Recipe

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.

    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.

    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!

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.
