    Corn Flour Sponge Cake (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    This recipe comes to us from Kaye Worthington. It is from an Australian magazine called The Australian Womens Weekly. When making them, you must remember that Australians use metric measurements e.g. 1 cup = 250 ml, etc. Also, with sponge cakes, eggs should be at room temperature, not straight from the fridge.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Corn flour Sponge
    4 eggs
    ½ cup castor sugar
    1 cup corn flour

    Lightly grease a deep 23 cm round cake pan. Beat eggs in a bowl with electric mixer for about 7 minutes or until thick and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating well after each addition. Sift corn flour three times, then sift corn flour over egg mixture. Gently fold flour into egg mixture. Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan, bake in moderate oven (180c) for about 40 minutes or until cooked when tested.

    Turn sponge onto a wire rack to cool. Split cold cake in half, spread halves with cream, jam, or icing. I prefer to spread raspberry jam on the bottom half and then either spread icing or cream and top with strawberries on the top half.

    I also think the same, but what is the role of corn flour? The recipe is very dry and was looking like a disaster.

    I'm sorry but this cake was the weirdest solid eggy cake I have ever tasted. Maybe it's an acquired taste, but certainly not mine or my poor boyfriend's who spent over an hour making it!

    When making this recipe follow the instructions exactly. The eggs must be beaten at least seven minutes and the corn flour must be folded in, not stirred. Do not over stir and do not over cook. Overall it's a sweeter, smoother version of corn bread. Not exactly as fluffy as one might expect a sponge cake to be but yummy nonetheless.

    I baked with maize before and half a tea spoon aluminum free, gluten free soda does the trick, it rises and it is kind of light and spongy.

In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014.

    The following is a recipe for a Sponge cake made with potato starch and it is wonderful served with fresh fruit (sliced strawberries with a little sugar) and a whipped topping or ice cream.
    8 eggs
    1 ½ cups sifted sugar
    1 ½ teaspoons grated lemon rind
    3 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 full cup potato starch
    dash of salt
    Separate the eggs. Using an electric mixer beat the egg whites until stiff and set aside. Beat the egg yolks for 2 min. at high speed. Add the lemon juice, sugar and lemon rind and beat another 2 min. at medium speed. Gradually add the sifted potato starch and continue mixing at medium speed an additional 2 minutes.
    Fold the beaten egg whites gently but thoroughly with the egg yolk mixture. Place in a non-greased 2-piece 10 tube p...

    1 can coconut milk or 1 cup heavy cream
    6 egg yolks
    1 cup brown sugar or Rapadura
    ½ stick gluten-free butter (or ¼ cup coconut oil)
    A bit of vanilla
    Mix it all together and cook in pot on medium heat on stove until thick--stir constantly.
    Variation: Add nuts (roasted chopped nuts are the best) and coconut. Excellent on tarts, cakes, or brownies.

    Ingredients:
    2 ½ cups gluten-free flour mix
    ½ cup butter melted
    ¾ cup milk
    Mixture #1
    1/3 cup sugar
    1 tbsp cinnamon
    Mixture #2
    ½ cup sugar
    ¾ cup butter (6 tablespoons)
    Directions:
    Mix mixture #1 in bowl or baggie; set aside.
    Melt butter in mixture #2 and stir in sugar. Bring to a boil and boil two to three minutes and set aside.
    Mix biscuit mix with melted butter until blended; stir in milk, mix until blended. Turn out on floured surface (waxed paper works well) and kneed a few times. Roll out (or press out with hands) about 3/8" thick and cut into 1 ½" squares. Does not have to be exact as this only makes making the monkey balls easier. Roll into balls about 1" round. Roll in mixture #1 and place in greas...

    I never had a desire to eat cupcakes, until I went gluten-free. And now that I can't eat them, I crave them like crazy. Of course, it doesn't help that cupcakery's are popping up everywhere as the new food craze. This is a cupcake recipe that is free of most common allergens. It is gluten-free, nut-free, corn-free and vegan. To also make this  beet/cane sugar-free I will be experimenting with this recipe using agave syrup in place of sugar. While I don't drink coffee, I am a sucker for coffee flavored sweets. However, if you are not a coffee fan, you can replace the coffee with chocolate, vanilla, or some other flavor that you prefer.
    To make cupcake batter, whisk together the following:

    ¾ rounded cup sorghum ¾ rounded cup  tapioca starch  (you can also use potato or corn...

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior". Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still co...
