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.
