In this gluten-free apple sponge cake recipe, the two varieties will give you the perfect texture with a balanced sweet and tart flavour.

This cake is just the right amount of sweetness, but I had some difficulty with the recipe. I followed everything and ended with batter the consistency of peanut butter and it wouldn’t spread over the apples at all. I put it back in the mixer and added 1/3 cup almond milk. It spread, but just barely. It will definitely make it again, but I may use GF flour with less xanthan gum and or add more liquid.
various flour blends may react differently. So happy to hear that you added more liquid and made it work. Thank you for the info
When i made this recipe, i thought it wasnt gonna work, despite the good ratings. I thought the ovem temperature was too high (i had to cover the cake with foil half way through), i thought the batter wasnt enough and too thick. But i stuck to the recipe. And magic worked…. This absolutely beautiful and tasty cake came out! Well surprised!
thank you Angela for sharing, and sticking to the recipe!
