When I found the recipe for gluten free angle food cake, let's just say I was skeptical!
Before having to go gluten free, I could make an angel food cake in my sleep!
People always think they are so hard to make and bake...that's so not true!
But since going gluten free my confidence in baking (and converting) recipes has been well let's just say a bit on the lacking side.
It's not always easy to convert a gluten recipe into a gluten free recipe.
I have found some wonderful blogs that help with this and have some amazing recipes to try as well. These sites are listed on my side bar.
Two weeks ago I came across this recipe for Gluten Free Angel Food Cake at GF In the City.
It sounded easy enough and I had everything needed to make it.
So I took a leap of faith and whipped it up! I even pitted the cherries by hand for the topping. I have the bruise on my hand to prove it!
Oh Boy!
This cake was A...MAZ...ING!
You can find the recipe at the blog mentioned above or you can make a regular angel food cake, the choice is yours. An whichever you choose, I know you can do it and will be totally happy that you did!
The topping was simple. I took 2 cups of pitted fresh cherries, 1/2 cup of sugar, a 1/4 cup of water and several splashes of Grand Marnier Liqueur and added it all to a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil and turn down to a simmer and simmer until thickened. I just left my on very low heat until ready to serve.
This was a wonderful, simple, easy topping and oh so yummy!
I was in a state of bliss while shoveling this cake into my very happy mouth!

It is amazing how many people have to be gluten free these days. I have really been hearing about it alot lately.
I am so happy that so many products are being made gluten free now and that there are good recipes out there!!
One of my favorite cakes, and the cherry topping sounds so divine...
Mmmm! Sounds yummy! I've not had angel food cake for years. I have no idea why not, but now I want some. I love mine with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. And your splashes of Grand Marnier Liqueur would make it sublime!
