Easy Gluten Free Cakes Recipe
Susan is here with another great recipe find: Delicious Gluten Free Strawberry Cake.
My husband and I used to live in a small rural community as farmers in West Texas when we were first married. Our social circle was centered around our church family and quite often, we would have old fashioned potluck suppers.
I have never seen such awesome food. No one would ever consider buying a dessert or skimping on butter and if they brought fried chicken, it was homemade.
Granted, it wasn’t healthy but back then, that wasn’t the point.
There was such a spirit of family communion and sharing of lives and love of God. These gatherings were the highlight of our lives.

Anytime someone would bring something different to the table that was delicious, I would get the recipe and I still have most of those in my favorite recipes file.
I rarely make them because they are not recipes that are heart healthy but every so often, I pull one out.
The other day, my daughter made a cake that she had adapted to be gluten-free recipe for a family get-together. The minute I bit into it, I knew that it was one that we used to have at church fellowships when we were farmers.
She gave me the recipe and I thought I would share it.
If you didn’t know, people who have celiac disease can’t digest gluten, so that’s why this easy recipe can be a great gluten-free birthday cake or appropriate for any special occasion.
There are a wide variety of amazing gluten free cakes.
Some of my favorite gluten free cake mix flavors include:
- Gluten Free Yellow Cake
- Gluten Free Lemon Cake
- Chocolate Gluten-Free Cake
- Gluten Free Carrot Cake
Bob’s Red Mill makes many of these flours.
