    Spice Cake #2 (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    This recipe comes to us from Joe Ellison.

    Preheat oven to 325 F.
    Grease a bundt or tube pan (7-inch tube pan, or a 10-inch bundt pan)

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Boil together, covered, for 3 minutes:
    1 cup water
    2 cups raisins
    1 cup brown sugar
    ½ cup dairy-free and gluten-free margarine or shortening
    ½ teaspoon each ground cinnamon and allspice
    ½ teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

    Let cool. This mixture can sit overnight with no harm to the finished product. Just dont refrigerate it, or youll have to reheat it.

    Sift, then measure to equal 2 cups:
    2 cups gluten-free flour mix (I used 1 2/3 cups of a one:one:one mix of Asian white rice flour, sweet rice flour, and tapioca starch, plus 1/3 cups sorghum, but any all-purpose mix will do)

    Sift again with:
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    ½ teaspoon xanthan gum, if desired (I used it, but would actually leave it out next time)

    Stir the flour into the liquid ingredients (or the other way round—it really doesnt matter). Stir until smooth.

    If desired, add:
    1 cup chopped almonds or other nuts
    1 cup chopped dried fruit, such as dates, figs, and candied citron

    Pour batter into prepared pan, and level with a spatula. Bake for one hour. It will test done at about 45 or 50 minutes, but needs the extra baking time to set properly. If it doesnt test done (toothpick comes out clean) at one hour, keep baking until it does, then give it another five or ten minutes.

    Allow to cool in pan on a cooling rack, then turn out onto a serving platter.

    You can add any icing you want, or no icing. You can also use a sugar/lemon juice glaze, or a white butter-cream style icing.

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    This recipe comes to us from Kaye Worthington. It is from an Australian magazine called The Australian Womens Weekly. When making them, you must remember that Australians use metric measurements e.g. 1 cup = 250 ml, etc. Also, with sponge cakes, eggs should be at room temperature, not straight from the fridge.
    Corn flour Sponge
    4 eggs
    ½ cup castor sugar
    1 cup corn flour
    Lightly grease a deep 23 cm round cake pan. Beat eggs in a bowl with electric mixer for about 7 minutes or until thick and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating well after each addition. Sift corn flour three times, then sift corn flour over egg mixture. Gently fold flour into egg mixture. Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan, bake in moderate oven (180c) for about 40 minutes or until cooked ...
