It’s amazing that this cake is made with mostly rice flour. I’ve only really started liking baked stuff after I started a gluten-free diet. I think that other flours, especially whole grains, have so much more character, and have more to offer in terms of depth of flavor.

Looks delish! Have you ever tried it with something other than rice flour? It’s my young son who is the gf one in our house and I try to avoid giving him too much rice.

Thanks Sarah, I haven’t tried it with a different flour yet. I’m sure it would work out great still. What type of flours do you normally use?
