Gluten-free gingerbread cake made with a unique blend of five flours, infused with molasses, buttermilk, and a hint of pepper - a delicious twist on a fall favorite.
Ingredients:
  • 3/4 teaspoon guar gum
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup quinoa flour
  • 3/4 cup teff flour
  • 1/4 cup oat flour (make sure this is made from certified gluten free oats)
  • 3/4 cup sweet rice flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour
  • 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon gluten free baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup hot water
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9-inch pan and line with foil, ensuring it overlaps on 2 sides. Grease the foil generously.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flours, xanthan and guar gums, baking soda, baking powder, and spices. Whisk together until well mixed; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat butter and sugars on medium speed for about 5 minutes until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time until well blended. Mix in molasses and buttermilk (don't worry if the dough looks curdled).
  • Gradually blend in the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, about 1/2 cup at a time, ensuring it is fully mixed before adding more. Stir in hot water and mix for 1 minute.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the gingerbread to cool in the pan until slightly warm before removing it from the foil and transferring it to a cutting board.
