Gluten Free Easy Sponge Cake

Makes one sponge cake (length of a jelly roll pan or full sized cookie sheet), serves plenty! (depending on the size of your slices.

Ingredients:

8 eggs, room temperature

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup potato starch (NOT flour!)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons gluten-free vanilla extract

1 teaspoon gluten-free lemon extract

1 teaspoon gluten-free almond extract

TOPPING:

freshly whipped cream

fresh fruit (strawberries and blueberries)

powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions:

1. Separate the egg whites and the yolks.

2. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and set aside.

3. Beat the egg yolks until light yellow and creamy - about 2 - 3 minutes)

4. Sift together powdered sugar, potato starch (not flour!) and salt.

5. Add sifted dry ingredients to the beaten egg yolks and mix thoroughly.

6. Add the extracts. Mix again.

7. Using a spatula or spoon (not your mixer!), gently fold the egg whites into the batter.

8. Preheat the oven to 325F.

9. Line a jelly roll pan or a full sized cookie sheet pan with parchment paper.

10. Gently smooth the cake batter out to the length of your pan with even depth. (My pan is 18" by 13" - and the batter is about 2/3 - 1" thick).

11. Bake the cake for 15 minutes then turn off the oven and open the oven door. (I open the oven by cracking it open about 2-3 inches.)

12. Leave the cake to cool in the oven for 5-8 minutes.

13. Remove from oven and cool.

14. Gently lift the cooled cake up off the parchment paper just to loosen it from the paper. Lay the cake back down on to the paper. You will use the parchment to help you roll the cake.

15. Top with freshly whipped cream and fresh fruit slices.

16. Have a piece of fresh parchment paper the length of your cake OR a serving platter that fits nearby. Use the parchment paper to help you roll the cake. (I roll it so I have LONG cake rather than rolling the short end and have a HUGE rolled cake.)

This sounds yummy...I may try to put the mix into an individual 4 inch springform pan to see how it cooks up for individual sponge cakes.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
