    Angel Food Cake with an Irish Twist (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    In the spirit of all things Irish this month, I thought I'd experiment with a twist on an old favorite – Angel Food Cake.

    IrishCream Liqueur may be made at home or purchased as a manufacturedproduct.  It does contain whiskey derived from gluten-containinggrains, but the distillation process removes all gluten, and (lucky forus) renders the drink gluten-free. 

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    There are several brandsavailable, but only some that are willing to state that they aregluten-free.  Bailey's Irish Cream is not one of them.  Despite thefact that there should be no gluten-containing ingredients whatsoeverin Irish cream, Bailey's is unwilling to make any statement that it isgluten-free (despite my repeated attempts to get information from themon the gluten-free status of their product).  In stark contrast toBailey's corporate policy, St. Brendan's Irish Cream clearly states onits website that it is gluten-free. 

    Angel Food Cake with an Irish Twist (Gluten-Free)Whileit is unlikely that brands such as Bailey's contain any gluten (infact, they state that their whiskey is triple-distilled!), there is noreason to patronize a brand that refuses to take the time to determinewhether or not their product contains gluten.  Reward companies whichacknowledge the importance of their gluten-free consumers; go directlyto brands like St. Brendan's if you want to purchase Irish CreamLiqueur.  I have also posted a homemade recipe for Irish Cream Liqueurbelow the cake recipe, if you'd like to go head-first into the Irishspirit!

    You can make this cake as written, or feel free tosubstitute orange or lemon juice for the Irish Cream Liqueur and losethe cocoa if you don't want that either. This recipe is a greatfoundation for whatever taste you're seeking, any time of year!

    Angel Food Cake - Irish Style

    Ingredients:
    6 eggs, separated
    1 cup granulated cane sugar
    ½ cup confectioners sugar
    1 ¼ cup Jules' Nearly Normal gluten-free All Purpose Flour

    Sift the All Purpose Flour, cocoa and confectioners sugar together in a small bowl and set aside.

    Fold the beaten whites into the other mixture bygently stirring with a rubber spatula. When mixed, pour into anungreased 10-inch tube or spring form pan. Bake for 30 minutes, thenincrease the heat to 325 F convection or 350 F static and bake foranother 20-25 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Invertthe pan and allow to cool before removing the cake by sliding a knifearound the outside of the cake to release the cake from the sides.

    There is a great product out now which should alleviate your concerns with raw eggs: pasteurized (in the shell) eggs! The company is Davidson's and their website is safeeggs.com.

    Celiac.com 01/11/2005 - Pizza crust is an essential item in the gluten-free kitchen, especially for families with celiac children. This class demonstrates how to make an excellent pizza crust with a variation on the recipe for focaccia bread. Alternative flours will be used and their health benefits detailed.
    This recipe is adapted from Bette Hagmans first book Open Original Shared Link. Healthy flours and the tricks I have learned over the years are part of this revised recipe. You may use brown rice flour if you cant find the amaranth, buckwheat, or teff flour, although the health benefits of these alternative flours make them well worth the search.
    This recipe makes two 13-inch pizzas, or four 10-inch pizzas.
    Ingredients:
    1½ cups brown rice flour ...

    Ok, I know these cookies aren't free from peanuts, but they are peanut butter cookies, after all!  If you can do almonds, but not peanuts, definitely try this recipe with almond butter – yum!
    For the rest of us with other dietary restrictions, take heart! These cookies fit the bill! They're delicious, and still gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, and sugar-free! Yes, they even have a low glycemic index! Enjoy these cookies on their own, or add chocolate chips (dairy-free chips are great too!) for a change of pace. High protein, loads of vitamins and minerals, dietary fiber – it's all there, and in a cookie!!!  Maybe I should have called these “Guilt-Free Cookies”!!!
    Don't be daunted by some of the unusual flour ingredients. Try them if you will, or just use my al...

    Celiac.com 12/28/2012 - Sourdough bread is made by a long fermentation of dough using naturally occurring yeasts and lactobacilli. Compared with regular breads, sourdough usually has a sour taste due to the lactic acid produced by the lactobacilli.
    Sourdough fermentation helps improve bread quality by prolonging shelf life, increasing loaf volume, delaying staling, as well as by improving bread flavor and nutritional properties.
    However, sourdough isn't just good for making better bread. Recent studies show that sourdough fermentation can also speed gut healing in people with celiac disease at the start of a gluten-free diet.
    Over the past few years researchers have been experimenting with sourdough fermentation as a means for making traditional wheat bread safe...

    Celiac.com 10/08/2014 - The one condition that accounts for almost half of the patients who seek out gastroenterologists is IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).  Many celiacs suffer from this ailment.  IBS is a ‘functional’ disorder, meaning that there is no damage to the digestive tract.  Only the bowel’s function, not its structure, is disturbed.   
    Here is Where the Irony Begins
    Patients suffering from constipation are encouraged to consume a lot of dietary fiber (non-digestible carbohydrates and lignin from plants) because it acts as a mild laxative and promotes bowel evacuation.  A ‘mild laxative’ is the last thing someone with diarrhea needs, right?  Wrong!  It is recommended that IBS patients go on a high-fiber diet.  
    Studies show that IBS patients on a high fiber di...
