Easy Christmas Cake

Hi, I have purchased Bobs Red Mill all purpose baking flour to make a Christmas cake.  I really want something relatively easy, and was wondering if someone can direct me to a simple recipe whereby I can use this flour and make a cake that's half decent.

 

Thank a lot.

What about a Christmas Yule log? Got a jelly roll pan? We made gluten-free pumpkin rolls using the standard Libbey's Pumpkin recipe off the can and it was yummy! Here is a chocolate one, but I would sub out the white frosting for a chocolate one decorated with shaved chocolate, piped holly to make it look like a log.

How did the Christmas cake turn out?  If you can post the recipe you used and your comments for gluten free version.

 

It looks like Christmas cake is different for each nationality.  ????

Hi, I am English and a traditional Christmas cake has lots of fruit, nuts and alcohol in it...I made it yesterday, but it will be a week before I eat any of it, and so because I have had a few disasters :unsure:  with baking recently  I wont post the recipe yet, I want to make sure it tastes fine, also I have added rum to it, and i plan on adding more today and in five more days...so once I know it tastes fine I will post the recipe. :D

I've never heard of cake enhancer either.  The King Arthur Cake Enhancer has this for ingredients:

INGREDIENTS: EMULSIFIER (RICE STARCH,
POLYGLYCEROL ESTERS OF FATTY ACIDS,
MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES OF FATTY
ACIDS).
Produced in a dedicated gluten-free, allergenfree*
manufacturing facility.
*free of the 8 most common food allergens

The KAF cake enhancer is something they use in all their cake recipes but they say is optional.  It makes stuff stay softer and moist longer.  Ive heard some great things about it but never tried it myself.

I never have used an enhancer. Must be the same stuff that is in Twinkies! Rumor has it that they can last a decade or more! Commercial bakers need a long shelf life, but I prefer to eat most thing right out of the oven or I freeze it. Need more moisture? Add more oil or butter.

I just found the recipe online for the Log/roll for easy reference. I did not realize it mentioned an enhancer. Sorry!

I have used a gluten free flour replacer that had gelatin.  I did help keep the shape and moisture for cakes.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
