Gluten-Free Cakes

September 4, 2014

From a light and airy pineapple sponge to a dark and rich chocolate torte, these 9 gluten-free cakes make a showstopping end to any meal.

Walnut Carrot Cake with Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting — Surprisingly airy and light, this cake could have been a soufflé in a previous life. Naturally gluten-free, the batter gets its lift from egg whites, its rich stability from walnut flour, and its moistness from grated carrot and pineapple.Todd Coleman

Gluten Free Chocolate Cake — You won't miss the flour in this rich chocolate cake, developed for us by gluten free chef Judy Haubert.Maxime Iattoni

Gluten-Free Grapefruit Cake — This moist cake soaked with citrus-infused syrup gets its nutty flavor and hearty texture from a blend of almond flour and coarsely ground yellow cornmeal.Helen Rosner

This flourless chocolate cake is rich, moist, and surprisingly light. It's wonderful served simply frosted, or it may be decorated with Chocolate Cigarettes--and/or served with whipped cream and berries on the side. See the recipe for Queen Mothers Cake »Christopher Hirsheimer

When making his version of this cake, chef Jeremy Lee prefers to use strawberries that have just been picked.Christopher Hirsheimer

While visiting the famed Brandolini family at their Vistorta wine estate in Friuli, they served us this dense cake—a family recipe. See the recipe for Vistorta Chocolate Cake »Roger Sherman

Pineapple Sponge Cake — This pineapple sponge cake, developed by chef Judy Haubert as a Mother's Day gift for her mom, swaps coconut flour for the standard all-purpose. It makes for a moister crumb—as well as emphasizing pineapple's tropical flavor—and has the added bonus of making the cake naturally gluten-free.Anna Stockwell
