Prize-Winning Gluten-Free Sponge Cake image

Time 33m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons water
4 eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups cornflour, make sure it is gluten-free (cornstarch)
1 teaspoon baking powder, gluten-free
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup strawberry jam, warmed
250 g strawberries, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon icing sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180C (350F). Coat 2 spring form pans with baking spray, then line with baking paper. The baking spray helps keep the paper from moving around.
  • In a microwave bowl or small saucepan, place the sugar and water. Bring to a boil. Stir every now and then to dissolve the sugar.
  • Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff. Slowly drizzle in the hot sugar mixture with the mixer running. Then beat really hard for 3 minutes. Mix in egg yolks and vanilla.
  • Sift together cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Carefully fold these into the egg mixture. Pour into prepared pans.
  • Bake 18-20 minutes. As soon as you remove them from the oven, drop the pans from knee height, square on the floor - seriously! This is a strange sponge making trick that 'shocks' the cake and stops it from deflating.
  • Then immediatly turn sponges out onto a wire rack or baking paper to cool upside down.
  • Beat cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Warm jam for a few seconds in the microwave.
  • Place one sponge on the serving plate. Spread first with jam, then whipped cream.Top with strawberry slices. Then put second sponge on top. Dust with icing .

VANILLA SPONGE CAKE- GLUTEN, DAIRY, NUT AND EGG FREE



Vanilla Sponge Cake- Gluten, Dairy, Nut and Egg Free image

Posting this cake for those who are looking for a cake that is gluten, dairy, egg and nut free. For allergies or food intolerances be sure to read all product labelling and be sure to buy flours that are suitable. This recipe uses a ready mixed gluten-free flour blend that has added gums for baking qualities. If you use a blend that does not have any added gums or gluten-free stabiliser then add in one teaspoon of xantahan or guar gum with the flour. I use ORGRAN brand flour and this is from one of their magazines. Orgran is gluten, dairy, nut, egg free and is vegan diet suitable. As stated - use a general purpose BLENDED gluten-free flour blend for this recipe---this recipe has not been developed for use with coconut flour or almond meal.

BETTY'S EASY GLUTEN FREE SPONGE CAKE



Betty's Easy Gluten Free Sponge Cake image

A light and fluffy sponge cake that can be enjoyed by those with gluten issues. Cool and fill with thick whipped cream and rich strawberry jam (my eldest son prefers lemon curd and cream). Be sure to use GLUTEN and WHEATEN FREE Maize Cornflour - not "regular" corn starch (corn flour) and gluten free baking powder. Original...

Provided by Betty Bramanis

Categories     Cakes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 eggs at room temp. must not be cold.
1/2 cup super fine (caster) sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups gluten free maize corn flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
FILLING - OPTIONAL
1/2 cup jam - slightly warmed to ease spreading
1 1/2 cups whipped cream

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 375oF/180oC. Grease and line 2 8 inch (20cm) round cake tins.
  • 2. Use an electric mixer (I use my mix master) beat the eggs for a full 8-9 minutes. They will become pale and creamy and quadruple in size.
  • 3. Add the sugar one tablespoon at a time, this is very important. Do NOT just dump it all in. And continue to beat until the sugar has dissolved (add in the vanilla) and beat for roughly another 5 minutes.
  • 4. Using a sifter over a plate, sift the flour 3 times. Finally sift the flour over the egg mixture. Gently fold the flour in.
  • 5. Carefully divide the batter between the two pans and bake in the pre heated oven. Bake for 20-22 minutes (do not open the oven to take a peak!) The sponge should springs back with touching and the sides of the sponge should have pulled away from the tin.
  • 6. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Line a wire rack with baking paper (the top will stick to the rack other wise) and gently turn out.
  • 7. Cool completely, cover one half with jam and whipped cream and carefully place the other cake on top. Dust with icing (confection) sugar and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure ingredients, especially for gluten-free baking.
  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the batter, overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the cake to fall.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving.

Conclusion:

This gluten-free sponge cake recipe is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people with and without gluten sensitivities. With its light and fluffy texture, it is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a simple dessert or a festive centerpiece, this cake is sure to impress. So, preheat your oven and get ready to bake a delightful gluten-free sponge cake that everyone will love!
