Gluten Free Sponge Cake Recipe

Looking for a cake that is healthy and delicious at the same time? Try this naturally gluten free sponge cake with nuts and love!

Generally speaking, going gluten free for those who aren’t gluten allergic or sensitive will bring no health benefits. Specially not if going gluten free only means swapping the good old gluten filled recipes to something equally bad or even worse gluten free ingredients.

Like who knows what those five extra ingredients, that is supposed to substitute white flour, will do to us if there isn’t any research or study about them as never been tried before.

Luckily, this cake is not in the fake healthy gluten free category. It is a type of cake that’s actually good for us as using gluten free ingredients without making an effort to do so. Or in other words naturally being gluten free.

Using natural ingredients, like nuts instead of any kind of flour and some banana to sweeten the cake, will create the same sponginess as before because, unlike with yeast, the leavening agent here is still the eggs that will create the necessary structure while a bit of baking powder raise our creation into heights unimaginable without the prowess of mankind.
