Gluten Free Easy Sponge Cake

Makes one sponge cake (length of a jelly roll pan or full sized cookie sheet), serves plenty! (depending on the size of your slices.

Ingredients:

8 eggs, room temperature

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup potato starch (NOT flour!)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons gluten-free vanilla extract

1 teaspoon gluten-free lemon extract

1 teaspoon gluten-free almond extract

TOPPING:

freshly whipped cream

fresh fruit (strawberries and blueberries)

powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions:

1. Separate the egg whites and the yolks.

2. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and set aside.

3. Beat the egg yolks until light yellow and creamy - about 2 - 3 minutes)

4. Sift together powdered sugar, potato starch (not flour!) and salt.

5. Add sifted dry ingredients to the beaten egg yolks and mix thoroughly.

6. Add the extracts. Mix again.

7. Using a spatula or spoon (not your mixer!), gently fold the egg whites into the batter.

8. Preheat the oven to 325F.

9. Line a jelly roll pan or a full sized cookie sheet pan with parchment paper.

10. Gently smooth the cake batter out to the length of your pan with even depth. (My pan is 18" by 13" - and the batter is about 2/3 - 1" thick).

11. Bake the cake for 15 minutes then turn off the oven and open the oven door. (I open the oven by cracking it open about 2-3 inches.)

12. Leave the cake to cool in the oven for 5-8 minutes.

13. Remove from oven and cool.

14. Gently lift the cooled cake up off the parchment paper just to loosen it from the paper. Lay the cake back down on to the paper. You will use the parchment to help you roll the cake.

15. Top with freshly whipped cream and fresh fruit slices.

16. Have a piece of fresh parchment paper the length of your cake OR a serving platter that fits nearby. Use the parchment paper to help you roll the cake. (I roll it so I have LONG cake rather than rolling the short end and have a HUGE rolled cake.)

This sounds yummy...I may try to put the mix into an individual 4 inch springform pan to see how it cooks up for individual sponge cakes.

      Anyone Here Sensitive To Fillers Such As Cellulose?

      By CelluloseSick · Posted

      Thanks Scott. its been a tough journey. i haven’t been able to take any painkillers for pain, because they all contain some form of cellulose. I’m finally working with a compounding pharmacist to get compounded Ibuprofen w/o cellulose filler … I’ll let you know how that works out. when I tell doctors about my problems with cellulose and medications, sadly they really don’t understand the magnitude of the problem. My reason for responding to the original post was to let others know they’re not crazy - and there’s such a thing as cellulose intolerance. Thank you so much for your response.

      Hello @CelluloseSick, it sounds like you’ve been through a really challenging journey trying to pinpoint and avoid cellulose fillers in medications. Severe migraines and liquid diarrhea, especially with Ulcerative Colitis, must make this an incredibly difficult issue to manage. It’s frustrating how hidden these ingredients can be, and it definitely takes a lot of detective work to connect the dots. While true cellulose allergies or intolerances don’t seem to be well-documented, some people do report digestive issues, headaches, or other symptoms when exposed to cellulose-based fillers. Unfortunately, there isn’t a clear statistic on what percentage of the population suffers from this, but anecdotal evidence suggests that you are not alone. Have you found any specific resources or medical professionals who acknowledge this issue? It’s great that you’ve been able to find compounded medications with sucrose fillers—hopefully, that continues to work for you!

      Btw, I recently switched from Compounded T3/T4 ( which had cellulose in it, unbeknown to me) and was making me sick to a brand called NP Thyroid. No cellulose filler

      So happy to have found this Post. ive been struggling with cellulose fillers in meds for years. When I found out, I looked for meds that do not contain cellulose filler or have had to get compounded meds made with sucrose filler. My reactions are:  severe migraines and liquid diarrhea ( not fun when you suffer from Ulcerative Colitis). not sure what percentage of the population suffer from such allergy. you'd have to be a pretty good sleuth to find this and make the connections. Bravo for you!   anyone know what percentage of population suffers from cellulose intolerance? thanks?

      If you replace the gluten products you normally ate with gluten-free versions, and I mean the breads, be careful, as many gluten-free products can be high in calories and low in nutrients (high carb).
