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!
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. The recipes include instructions for one big cake and little cupcakes so you can knock yourself out with the amount of deliciousness this recipe makes. This is one of the best gluten-free cake recipes!

Brownies are a type of cake right? Either way they’re being included on this list because this recipe is an absolute treasure. These really are the Best Ever Chocolate Brownies, or definitely the best gluten-free ones ever and the best thing about them is that you only need five ingredients to make them. That’s right, just five. They’re gooey, oozy and fudgey, and Kerry (the creator of the recipe) promises they can be whipped up in under an hour, so what’s not to love about these gluten-free brownies?

Now, I know what you’re thinking, strawberry cake isn’t a real type of cake. But when you’re gluten intolerant, you take any cake you can get. And this recipe is no exception. It’s a vibrant pink color and vibrant in taste, with the natural strawberry flavor (and color) hitting you instantly. It’s the perfect girly cake and the creamy frosting is just yum!

Ok, so maybe these ones aren’t really cakes, but can you blame me for putting them in? This recipe from The Gluten Free Blogger gives great guidelines for what to buy in terms of oats if you have cealiac disease and gives brilliant alternatives in case oats really don’t agree with you. It is the perfect recipe if you love a bit of sweet with a bit of tart and looks absolutely stunning when finished, with the marble effect on top. Any cake lover would eat these fantastic gluten-free flapjacks up in a second.

Well, this one is so chocolately, it’ll be like you didn’t even know what chocolate tasted like until you had this cake. The recipe from What The Fork gives you a dairy-free option as well which is great if you’re lactose intolerant and once done the cake looks so creamy and just yummy. They give you various choices for icing and really explain in detail how to put this cake together. And what makes it even better, well it’s gluten-free of course!
