Red Velvet Cake

[suziew]

Does anyone have a gluten free recipe for red velvet cake? I was going to try a regular recipe and subsitute gluten free flour with regular flour. But whenever I do this the cakes or cookies come out grainy.

I found this on another forum posted by mrsppmrxky. I had never heard of this cake until a couple of months ago when I saw it posted elsewhere. I have NOT tried this, so I can't tell you how it will turn out.

This is a cake that I make for my family and have made for a few cake orders. It turns out really well. I have used it with the rice/tapioca/potato starch flour mixture.

It turns out really well. Don' t let the can of drained beets scare you!! LOL Once you puree them, you do not taste them in the cake. THey add the color as well as a little sweetness to the mix.

Here is the recipe that I found on the net and love.

That looks yummy! I'm going to add that to my list of things to try w/Carleigh. I only try 1 new thing/week to see how she does.. The beets would be new to us and it'd have to have egg replacer though
