Gluten Free Spiced Prune Cake Recipes

GLUTEN FREE SPICED PRUNE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Grease bundt pan and set aside.
• In a small pan boil several cups of water. Remove from heat and add prunes. Let soak for 15- 20 minutes or until prunes have softened. Drain prunes and finely chop them. I found it easier to chop them with scissors. Set aside.
• Combine rice flour, potato starch, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and baking soda.
• In a bowl combine oil, buttermilk, and eggs.
• Slowly add flour mixture to wet mixture and stir just until combined.
• Stir in prunes.
• Spread batter into bundt pan.
• Bake for 70-75 minutes. Check cake at one hour and bake additional time if needed or until cake starts to pull slightly away from the pan. This cake is very dense and moist so the toothpick test is hard to do on this one.
• Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes then remove from pan to cool on wire rack.

• 4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
• 5. Add the wet to the dry, along with the buttermilk and stir just enough to combine.(don't overmix)

Sift the flour, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda into a large bowl or onto a sheet of waxed paper. Stir in the dry ingredients 1/3 at a time, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix in the walnuts if using. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
