Common Questions about Gluten Free Pound Cakes

How do you keep a gluten free cake moist?

To keep a gluten-free cake moist, it is important to store the baked good in a sealed container. This will help prevent moisture loss and keep the cake fresh. Additionally, using a recipe that includes a lot of liquids, such as this one, can help keep the cake buttery and moist.

Why Gluten Free Cakes Can Turn Out Rubber

When baking gluten-free cakes, overworking the batter can lead to a rubbery texture. This is especially true when using xanthum gum, a common ingredient in gluten-free baking. The protein in gluten is what gives traditional cakes their structure and texture. Without gluten, it’s important to be mindful of the ingredients and the mixing process to avoid a rubbery texture.

To prevent rubbery gluten-free cakes, follow these tips:

  • Mix the batter until just combined, avoiding overworking it.
  • Use a combination of gluten-free flours to add structure and moisture.
  • Add moisture-rich ingredients like yogurt, applesauce, or sour cream to the batter.
  • Use a lower baking temperature and longer baking time to prevent overbaking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before slicing to prevent it from becoming too dense.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your gluten-free cakes turn out moist and delicious, without any rubbery texture.

Is Gluten Free Pound Cake Better the Next Day?

Gluten-free pound cake is better the next day. The flavors have a chance to mingle and the cake becomes even more delicious. To prevent it from drying out, store it in an airtight container. This rich and dense cake has the perfect, buttery soft crumb. Made with coconut flour, this recipe is nut-free, gluten-free and grain-free. It takes 15 minutes to prepare and 1 hour to cook, with a total time of 1 hour 15 minutes. The cake is perfect for those who love lemon flavor.

  1. I made the paleo pound cake today. I changed a couple of things: I used organic raw blue agave instead of honey and earth balance organic whipped butter instead of reg butter. It is very good!! I’d make it again. Next Time I’d try the honey. I just didn’t have any.

  2. Nasty, nasty, nasty. My pound cake looked nothing like the picture and is basically a yellow brick. Yes I used and followed the directions. Even added more liquid, still not a batter, just a gloppy mess. My guy ate it with some fresh berries and asked how much was left. I showed the remaining loaf and he said “throw it out, this is disgusting.” We won’t be doing this again.
