Indulge in a decadent red velvet cake that's gluten-free. Rich cocoa and optional red food coloring create the perfect treat, topped with your choice of buttercream or cream cheese frosting.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups gluten-free all purpose baking flour (such as Bob's Red Mill®)
  • 0.5 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
  • 0.75 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup avocado - peeled, pitted, and pureed
  • 1.5 cups applesauce
  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 5 eggs, separated
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 drop red food coloring, as desired
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and prepare a 10-inch springform pan by greasing and flouring with gluten-free flour. Combine gluten-free baking flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a bowl. Resift if needed for a smooth mixture.
  • Add butter, avocado, applesauce, sugar, vinegar, buttermilk, and vanilla extract to a food processor. Pulse until well blended. Mix in egg yolks and transfer mixture to a large bowl.
  • Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a separate mixing bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped egg whites into the avocado mixture, followed by the flour mixture to keep the batter fluffy. Gently incorporate red food coloring before pouring the batter into the springform pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 1/2 hours until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool; expect some sinking due to the gluten-free nature. Remove from the springform pan once cooled for decorating.
