Directions
This one is simply great. There’s no better recipe online!
Gluten-free fruit cake is usually prepared with a mix of gluten-free flours that often includes rice and/or cornflour and starch. It makes a cake pale but boring. Besides such mix, this recipe also uses almond, millet, and oat flour which adds to taste, color, and texture. The apricot cake turns out pale yellow, soft, sweet, and flavorful. Just like it should be. No gluten-free sacrifices.
Enjoy!
For a 26 cm baking pan.

Once the cake is done, let it cool down on the countertop. Don’t release or cut in until it’s completely cool. It’s important for gluten-free baked goods! |
