This magic gluten free custard cake creates 3 layers all by itself. The simplest ingredients make the most amazing, light and fluffy cake with a magical custard base!

What is a gluten free magic custard cake anyway?

When I first saw this spongelike custard cake, I figured it was some kind of fancy pants cake that had 3 distinct layers, each baked separately and then assembled or something. (It’s not like I’m one to shy away from some fancy pants recipes, like classic yeasted gluten free croissants.)

Imagine my relief (and now I hope yours!) to see that it has the simplest, most basic ingredient list ever (butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, salt). Don’t you love it when that happens?

By the way, if it looks like the most tender and moist vanilla cake you’ve ever tasted, buckle up. That’s exactly what this magic tastes-like-custard-cake is: like our gf sponge cake, … Read more

These soft gluten free cut out sugar cookies with a meringue-style frosting are in a class by themselves. They’ll hold any shape you like, and they’re absolutely scrumptious with that thick layer of buttercream frosting.

You know those soft frosted sugar cookies at the store? I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve basically got a Lofthouse copycat recipe here — except better! No one will know these gluten free sugar cookies aren’t the “real thing”!

The best gluten free cut out sugar cookie recipe

These gluten free sugar cookies are so good, they make me want to wax lyrical about their fabulousness. Here’s why they’re so good:

• Classic taste and texture — they’ve got the crispy edges and soft centers that you expect from the perfect sugar cookie

• Perfect for all occasions —

These soft gluten free pumpkin cookies are lightly spiced, pumpkin-flavored, and only gently browned in the oven. They’re chewy, but fluffy, and are a lovely addition to the holiday season.

Why you’ll love this gluten free pumpkin cookie recipe

Some holiday cookies can really knock you out with all their holiday specialness. I’m thinking of gf rainbow cookies, and even gluten free gingerbread men, with all their rolling and cutting and stacking. Sometimes, you just want a simple pumpkin cookie that you can sink your teeth into and isn’t overpowering. These are that cookie.

Here’s why you’ll love these gf fall cookies :

• They’re soft, chewy, and perfectly spiced but never overdone (if you overdo the spices, your tongue will detect some bitterness).
• They have a more subtle pumpkin flavor than our gluten free pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.
• They’re easy to make with simple ingredients in one

These extra tender gluten free donut muffins with jam filling taste like an old-fashioned cake donut, but they’re baked easily in a muffin tin.

Unlike yeasted donuts, these donut muffins are baked simply in a standard 12-cup muffin tin, never fried. These donut muffins are extra tender, with the fragrance of freshly grated nutmeg and cinnamon in the batter, and satisfy your fresh donut cravings the easy way.

How are these donut muffins different than regular muffins?

Waaaay back in 2011 (nearly a lifetime in Internet years), I created a recipe for gluten free donut muffins for what was then called Living Without Magazine. It’s still out there and actually ranks quite well in search results, so if you’re interested you can still find it.

When you write for a magazine, you tend to have very little creative control. The recipe works, of course, or I wouldn’t have allowed … Read more

These moist and tender gluten free pumpkin muffins are made with simple pumpkin puree, plenty of pumpkin pie spice, and a few chocolate chips (if you like). You can also leave out the chips entirely, or maybe replace them with chopped walnuts!

Oh, and did I mention that it only takes one bowl and just 30 minutes from start to finish for you to have yummy, pumpkin-y gluten free muffins in hand?

What makes these gluten free pumpkin muffins special

I love making pumpkin recipes with pumpkin butter, which is just pumpkin puree with added juice and warm pumpkin spices, cooked down to reduce moisture and intensify flavors. But this recipe is different.

To bake with pumpkin butter, you have to have made some or bought some, and it takes a bit of time to make. I usually have pumpkin butter in my refrigerator around this time of year, … Read more
