Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Vanilla Cake

I think that the word vanilla has gotten an unfair reputation. It has come to mean plain, common, boring. But this gluten-free, dairy-free vanilla cake is anything but boring. It is light, fluffy and in fact it is one of…

Which gluten-free flour do you prefer? I have roun Which gluten-free flour do you prefer? I have rounded up 12 of my favorite recipes that I tested with King Arthur's Gluten-Free Measure for Measure flour, including these GLUTEN-FREE COFFEE CAKE MUFFINS.

Options for gluten-free flour have gotten so much better over the past few years. Maybe you remember when you had to have five different kinds of flour, starches and xanthan gum in your pantry? But now that one for one options are available, that's no longer necessary.

Gluten-free flour can be so expensive but I have shopped around and found the best price for you linked in my blog posts. You'll find my Gluten-Free Vanilla Cake recipe, cookie recipes, banana bread and more.

I used store bought lemonade, lemon zest & lemon extract for a triple dose of lemon. Add sweet tart raspberries & sweet frosting for, imo, the perfect cupcake.

Decorated with an easy cookie icing that is colored with @colorkitchenfoods plant-based, powdered food colors. The powdered colors are especially great for frosting and icing because it won't make them runny like liquid food colors.

πŸ‹πŸ‹πŸ‹
I haven't had a scone since going gluten-free years ago and they are one of my favorite breakfast bakes. So I went to work on the recipe. Scones are traditionally made with cream but I am lactose-free too. So I subbed in @greenvalleycreamery lactose free sour cream and it is a winner! A little butter, lemonade plus lemon zest and a lemon icing makes these scones lemony & sweet.

I did a little research on gluten-free rainbow sprinkles & included the info in the recipe. Gluten-free is a must for me and plant-based colors are a preference. It's hard to find both in certified gluten-free sprinkles. 
πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰
I've seen a lot of people using  funfetti cake mix as a base for funfetti cookies. The only dry ingredients needed for this recipe are flour, baking powder, salt and sprinkles. A gluten-free box mix costs $6 so I'd rather do it from scratch!
