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.

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results.  Thank you
