GF Carob (mock chocolate) Cake by Wendy Semyck
- preheat oven to 350
whisk dry ingredients together
- 1.5 Cup white rice flour
- 3/4 cup tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup carob powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda (I didn't have any baking powder on hand and so I used 2 scant tsp baking soda)
- 1 tsp xanthum gum (or guar gum... I used guar gum yesterday for our sons b-day cake!)
In mixing bowl - mix til fluffy:
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 2/3 cup mayo
Gradually add to the egg mixture - alternating between the two:
- flour mixture
- 1 cup milk (I used hemp) + 2 tsp vanilla extract
Mix well. Being sure there are no lumps. I started my stand mixer on 3 and then moved it to 6 for 5 mins while my dd used the rubber spatula to keep it off the sides of the ss mixing bowl. I then let it sit for a couple of minutes to help reduce the grainy type of texture that is often unavoidable when using rice flour. Letting it sit for a little while helped a lot. NO grainy texture at all!
No one knew it was gluten free. Also, they had NO idea it was carob... they kept saying that the "chocolate cake" was great. :D
This makes 2 8-9" rounds or 1 ~ 9x13
I made one round in white from a mix I had purchased. I could tell it wasnt' going to be enough... so created the carob for another round... it was enough to make that and a small rectagular cake that I put coconut and walnuts on top... that one looked like brownies and I (along with the other ladies at the party) prefered it to the frosted cake... toasted coconut and walnuts... YUM!
... it was even better this morning!!! :D
