Chiffon Cake - Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Corn Free, Soy Free

Hi All,

 

Me and my boyfriend have been watching "good eats" recently on netflix. I watched Alton's chiffon cake episode and decided to make a gluten free rendition.I have made several cakes, which have been passable. This is the first one where I felt like I could probably continuously replicate the results. 

 

Open Original Shared Link

 

 

I followed his recipe exactly (except with my own flour blend + xantham gum) and they turned out SWELL. Really fluffy and moist. I think peaking the egg whites makes a huge difference in removing any would-be density.

 

Alton's Ingredients: 

5 1/4 ounces cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
5 large eggs, separated
6 ounces sugar, divided
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil (I used canola)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
 
My Cake Flour:
1.5 ounces - Sweet Rice Flour (Bob's Redmill- I buy this on amazon.)
1.5 ounces - Tapioca Flour (Bob's Redmill)
1.25 ounce - White Rice Flour (Arrowhead Mills)
1 ounce - Millet Flour (Arrowhead Mills)
+ 1 tsp xantham gum 
 
 
And then I just followed the instructions per the link. I do not have a stand mixer, so I use my large food processor. This did not peak the egg whites as well as a stand mixer probably would have, but it did the job sufficiently enough. They did not rise quite as much as Altons, but they did appear to have risen quite a bit when I initially took them out of the oven. After cooling, they shrunk a bit. This was disconcerting until I took a bit and they were delicious.

My frosting turned out gooey, so I'm not going to share that part. (It's not the most appealing looking, just chocolate with mini chips mixed in. It tasted good, but it wasn't my best frosting by far.) However,the cake part was awesome!

What flour mixture did you use? That can make a big difference.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
