Pound Cake

This one also had great comments although I had to read and interpret how to get the flour right. I think they meant (from the comments and the rice blend at the end) 1 c. sweet rice flour, 1 c. rice flour, 2/3 c. potato starch, 1/3 c. tapioca, and 1 t. xanthan gum.

I have made this cake repeatedly. I made it this week for a friend's birthday. Everyone loved it - even those who eat "regular" cake. Last night I was told that it was much better than the store-bought regular cheesecake. I continue to use 1 c sweet rice flour and 1 cup regular rice flour plus starches/gum with excellent results. It's a little lighter and fluffier that way. Thank you Land O Lakes for the AWESOME recipe. I'll never use another cake recipe again! I love the other variations that people have posted and I'll check some of them out! Posted Aug 18 2011 by Tillie

I have made this cake countless times and it had been perfect every time. I do substitute water with 1 Tbsp. of vinegar in place of the milk. No one has ever been able to tell it is gluten free. It is a family favorite. It also makes a fabulous Tiramisu!

This is a great recipe. The only thing is you have to beat the batter for 3 minutes after all the ingredients are added in. This is something important that you need to do whenever you use xanthan gum in a recipe. Otherwise you will not get the correct texture.

I will probably try this as well after I feel more like baking again.
