Preparation

Chef’s notes

GLUTEN FREE – I haven’t tested it, but I believe this cake would work well with gluten free flour. Sub the flour with a good quality gluten free baking flour – one with xanthan gum. Also, make sure to spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a flat edge. Don’t scoop directly into the flour, otherwise this will pack it into the cup and leave you with way too much flour – thus a dry cake.
