although I have not tried this recipe yet, it sounds real good. I got the recipe from www.glutenfreebakingandmore.com You may want to check them out for other recipes as well. Let me know how you like it. I'd thought about trying it for Thanksgiving.


Pound Cake
Thick slabs of Sara Lee pound cake were my favorite dessert as a child. This gluten-free version knocks Sara out of the kitchen. Try the orange and lemon variations; they’re fabulous.

1 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup tapioca starch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cups) butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
3 large eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease and rice flour 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. ,br/> 2.In a small mixing bowl, whisk together white rice flour, cornstarch, tapioca starch, baking powder, salt and xanthan gum.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about one minute. Add eggs one at a time. Mix well between each addition.
4. Add dry ingredients. Blend until all ingredients are incorporated. Batter will be thick.
5. Add milk and vanilla. Blend until thoroughly combined, about one minute. Pour batter into prepared pan.
6. Bake for 45 minutes or until cake is golden brown and springs back to the touch.
7. Remove pan from oven. Allow cake to stand in the pan for five minutes before turning cake onto a cooling rack.
8. Allow cake to cool completely on the wire rack before icing. Pour icing over the top of the cake.
Serves 6

Praying that it turns out well. Blessings of good eating!

Carolyn, just printed off the recipe. I just made a pound cake but will probably be trying this in a few weeks. Looks like an easy recipe. I am trying to get away from mixes because of the expense. Also I am thinking about advertising for preparing for homemade GF items. I'll let you know how it turns out.
