Provided by Nicole Hunn

Categories     Cake     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 eggs (200 g, weighed out of shell, separated)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar (or 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice)
5/8 cup Basic Gum Free Gluten Free Flour Blend ((58 g superfine white rice flour + 19 g potato starch + 11 g tapioca starch/flour))
2 tablespoons cornstarch ((or try arrowroot))
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan (See Recipe Notes for 2 cakes) well and set it aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large bowl with a hand mixer), place the egg yolks and 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar, and beat on medium-high speed until pale yellow.
  • Sift the flour blend, cornstarch and salt into the egg yolk mixture, and beat until well-combined.
  • Transfer the egg yolk mixture to a small bowl and set it aside.
  • Clean out the mixer bowl very well, and place the egg whites and cream of tartar or lemon juice in the bowl, fitted with the whisk attachment.
  • Beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add the remaining 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar, and beat until glossy, stiff (but not dry) peaks form.
  • With the mixer on medium speed, slowly pour the egg yolk mixture and the vanilla into the egg white mixture, and beat until just combined. The mixture should be smooth and glossy.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and spread into an even layer.
  • Place in the center of the preheated oven and bake until the cake has begun to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick comes out mostly clean, or with a few moist crumbs attached (about 35 minutes).
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

BETTY'S EASY GLUTEN FREE SPONGE CAKE



Betty's Easy Gluten Free Sponge Cake image

A light and fluffy sponge cake that can be enjoyed by those with gluten issues. Cool and fill with thick whipped cream and rich strawberry jam (my eldest son prefers lemon curd and cream). Be sure to use GLUTEN and WHEATEN FREE Maize Cornflour - not "regular" corn starch (corn flour) and gluten free baking powder. Original...

Categories     Cakes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 eggs at room temp. must not be cold.
1/2 cup super fine (caster) sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups gluten free maize corn flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
FILLING - OPTIONAL
1/2 cup jam - slightly warmed to ease spreading
1 1/2 cups whipped cream

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 375oF/180oC. Grease and line 2 8 inch (20cm) round cake tins.
  • 2. Use an electric mixer (I use my mix master) beat the eggs for a full 8-9 minutes. They will become pale and creamy and quadruple in size.
  • 3. Add the sugar one tablespoon at a time, this is very important. Do NOT just dump it all in. And continue to beat until the sugar has dissolved (add in the vanilla) and beat for roughly another 5 minutes.
  • 4. Using a sifter over a plate, sift the flour 3 times. Finally sift the flour over the egg mixture. Gently fold the flour in.
  • 5. Carefully divide the batter between the two pans and bake in the pre heated oven. Bake for 20-22 minutes (do not open the oven to take a peak!) The sponge should springs back with touching and the sides of the sponge should have pulled away from the tin.
  • 6. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Line a wire rack with baking paper (the top will stick to the rack other wise) and gently turn out.
  • 7. Cool completely, cover one half with jam and whipped cream and carefully place the other cake on top. Dust with icing (confection) sugar and serve.

PRIZE-WINNING GLUTEN-FREE SPONGE CAKE



Prize-Winning Gluten-Free Sponge Cake image

Taken from Jo Seagar's "It's Easier Than You Think" cookbook. Make sure the corn flour (corn starch) isn't wheaten. Also check the icing sugar is made from pure sugar, and doesn't contain cornstarch or gluten.

Categories     Dessert

Time 33m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons water
4 eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups cornflour, make sure it is gluten-free (cornstarch)
1 teaspoon baking powder, gluten-free
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup strawberry jam, warmed
250 g strawberries, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon icing sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180C (350F). Coat 2 spring form pans with baking spray, then line with baking paper. The baking spray helps keep the paper from moving around.
  • In a microwave bowl or small saucepan, place the sugar and water. Bring to a boil. Stir every now and then to dissolve the sugar.
  • Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff. Slowly drizzle in the hot sugar mixture with the mixer running. Then beat really hard for 3 minutes. Mix in egg yolks and vanilla.
  • Sift together cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Carefully fold these into the egg mixture. Pour into prepared pans.
  • Bake 18-20 minutes. As soon as you remove them from the oven, drop the pans from knee height, square on the floor - seriously! This is a strange sponge making trick that 'shocks' the cake and stops it from deflating.
  • Then immediatly turn sponges out onto a wire rack or baking paper to cool upside down.
  • Beat cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Warm jam for a few seconds in the microwave.
  • Place one sponge on the serving plate. Spread first with jam, then whipped cream.Top with strawberry slices. Then put second sponge on top. Dust with icing .

Tips:

  • Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cake to rise evenly.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the batter. Over-mixing can make the cake tough.
  • Don't open the oven door while the cake is baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Betty's Easy Gluten-Free Sponge Cake is a delicious and versatile cake that can be enjoyed by people with and without gluten sensitivities. It's perfect for any occasion, from birthdays to picnics. With its light and fluffy texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
