Cuisine - Apple Cake pg 2 12-13-12



Greetings.  So many friends and family are gluten-free, either by necessity or by choice.  This is a recipe you can  serve or give as a gift for the holidays.  It doesn’t rise like a typical Bundt cake, but it is so tasty, and not one person who tried it was able to tell that it was gluten-free!

Gluten-Free Apple Cake
¼ cup tapioca flour   2/3 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking soda    1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger    ½ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cloves    ½ cup apple juice or cider
½ cup honey    ½ cup toasted pecans    2 teaspoons cider vinegar
¼ cup sugar    4 eggs    1/3 cup half & half
¼ cup melted butter    ½ cup maple syrup
¼ cup water    1 teaspoon vanilla
In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients with a whisk, until completely
 blended.
Puree apple juice, honey, pecans and cider vinegar in a blender
until completely smooth.
Transfer pureed mixture to a large bowl.  Add sugar, eggs, half & half,
and melted butter.  Blend well with a whisk.
Add dry ingredients, and blend with an electric mixer on medium
speed for 30 seconds.  Transfer mixture to a buttered and floured bundt pan.
Bake at 325  degrees F for 35 to 45 minutes, or until done.
After cooling in the pan for 10 – 20 minutes, loosen edges and remove
 cake to a serving plate.
In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, water, and vanilla, and bring
to a boil, being careful not to boil over. Reduce heat to medium, and when
a candy thermometer reaches 325 degrees F, remove from heat and allow to
cool for several minutes.  Pour or brush over cake.
