gluten-free Cake Flour Mix Ideas

Does anybody have a recipe or idea for a good gluten-free cake flour? I know it has to be low in protein, to make a lighter dessert. By the way, I would be using this in a sponge cake recipe for petit fours.

I think you'll find that most gluten-free flour blends which can turn out light and fluffy tend to be mostly carb-based. Things like tapioca flour, sweet white rice flour, corn starch, potato starch, etc are typical ingredients.

Here's a list of gluten-free recipes, including cakes and such, which should help you get some idea of what's commonly used: https://www.celiac.com/categories/Gluten%252dFree-Recipes/

I use the recipe on allrecipes.com for the gluten-free yellow cake. I get my white rice flour from an asian market because it is a finer grind so it doesn't come out gritty.

I had been following the recipe which called for white rice flour and tapioca flour. One time, not paying attention, I used potato starch instead of the tapioca flour and I thought it turned out much better. The tapioca gives a spongier/chewier end product. The potato starch resulted in what I'll call a more traditional mouth feel for cake. The amazing thing was that my kids actually noticed the difference . . . here I thought they were just eating it for the icing :P

Here's the recipe I've used:

      I have been on supplementation for almost 11 months with no deficiencies showing up on blood work. So was just hoping to hear someone else’s story where it took longer to heal.

      Here’s the answer from the company 😊   Hi Emily,    Thank you for reaching out to us! We can confirm the Organic Protein + 50 Superfoods Powder is gluten free. The organic barley and wheatgrasses we use are harvested prior to jointing, before the grain forms and any gluten protein is present. Rest assured appropriate measures are taken to ensure our gluten free products comply with the FDA final rule to be labeled as gluten free, as claimed on the side-panel label. Our suppliers are required to verify each ingredient and in order to ensure that our gluten free products comply with the FDA requirements, our manufacturing facilities use the ELISA test method to confirm gluten levels...

      Welcome to the forum, @kim-d! Recently revised guidelines or the "gluten challenge" recommends the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten for at least two weeks up until the day of the antibody test blood draw. 10g of gluten is the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread. IMO, I would wait until you have time to do it right so as to remove all doubt as to whether or not your gluten consumption was adequate for long enough to ensure valid testing. In the meantime, focus on removing gluten from your diet and see how your symptoms improve (or not) as one piece of the diagnostic puzzle.

      Hello. I'm a 22 year old college student and I've had constant stomach problems since I was 14. Recently I noticed that my problems get worse when I eat more wheat. I tried to follow a gluten free diet, which didn't end up entirely gluten free, but I still had reduced my gluten consumption very much, and I felt a lot better. I also have fatigue, inability to gain any weight, iron deficiency, possible vitamin deficiencies, really bad memory and brain fog that increases by time, unexplainable muscle aches and tachycardia which all can possibly explained by celiac/NCGS.  I wasn't able to continue a completely gluten free diet as I am eating from my school and dorm's cafeteria and almost...
