Cake Is Too Dry

[Kenster61]

Hi,

I just made a cake from the Gluten Free Pantry. It was fine but it was very dry. Anyone have any idea how to fix the problem.

Thanks

The cakes that I make the recipe calls for either margarine or oil. I find that when I use oil, it makes it much more moist...... Which do you use?

when a recipe calls for oil i try to replace with applesauce. it does make the cake nice and moist!

I add a fruit flavored yogurt. Like black cherry to chocolate cake, or Lemon to vanilla.

Try adding a little applesauce. You can also used mashed banana but that adds a flavor where applesauce does not. Claire

Plain yogurt does the trick Add a 1/2 cup to a cup to every recipe. It works perfectly.
