I have been baking gluten free for about 3 years now due to my grandson's intolerance to gluten. I didn't try the Steve's GF Cake Flour until recently.
This recipe and the flour is a game changer for me. I have granddaughters now who cannot have dairy or egg so I modified this recipe using egg replacer, vegan butter and oat milk. Oh my what a hit! I made birthday cakes using this recipe and the vanilla cake recipe on the back of the GF cake flour. Everyone including myself raved that the cakes were delicious and no one knew they were gluten, dairy and egg free. All reviews were the cakes were absolutely delicious. Thank you Steve for giving me a product that actually works (and didn't end up in the garbage like so many of the others). As I said this flour is a game changer and now has made me a happy baker.

I have 4 family members with gluten issues, and it's difficult to find GF flour that will satisfy everybody. This cake was really good, one of my daughters said, get ready for my birthday this is what I want.

Oh my! Cake is flavorful and moist, packed with chocolate. My family raved about it. I chose to go with whipped ganache as my filler and icing instead of the buttercream. Will definitely make again.

I made this cake for my a birthday in April and it was delish! No one, including my daughter who is GF, thought it was. My Grandma (2 months later!) still raves about how incredible it was. She doesn't even like cake! Never going back to another cake recipe again :)
