Delicious Gluten-Free Cake Recipes For Any Occasion
As with many people, I love carbs. It seems like all the best foods are crammed full of them, but if you’ve got cealiac disease, or are allergic to wheat, or (like me) are diabetic ingesting a large amount of carbs is the last thing you want to be doing. Which makes eating all those scrumptious carbohydrate-rich foods difficult. So why not have cake without the carbs? Here are 8 yummy gluten-free cake recipes!
1. Gluten-Free (and Vegan) Lemon and Poppy Seed Cake
Lemon and Poppy Seed has to be one of my absolute favorite cakes, but it’s pretty impossible to find one with no carbs in it. Thank god for this delectable recipe from Rhian’s Recipes that creates a moist and such a sweet cake that is sure to make anyone and everyone want to try it.
