Gluten-free Yellow Cupcake (for valentines)
About this Cook
My name is Shauna, I am 27 years old.I just finished my MSc. in plant biology at the University of Waterloo (Ontario, Canada). I would LOVE to open my own gluten-free and allergy aware bakery.
My favorite things to cook
Everything! healthy that is -- I'll make a few things that are unhealthy, but if something is just dripping with fat I stay away from making that dish for a meal -- fatty foods tend to make my clothes shrink. Except seafood (I'm allergic) and anything containing wheat, barley rye or spelt products (I'm a celiac)
My favorite family cooking traditions
Polish tradition. Cabbage rolls, pirogies etc. YUM! Also lots of traditional family baking.
My cooking tragedies
Nothing is a tragedy. Everything is a learning experience.

Gluten-Free Yellow Cake
The best yellow cake recipe available -- even better than a cake with gluten! I used stone ground sweet rice flour (from El Peto) and soaked it in milk for 1/2 hour before making. There was absolutely no grittiness. Everyone loved them, nobody thought they were gluten-free. I also used vanilla beans instead of vanilla extract. This really makes a flavour difference. Use 1 vanilla bean to replace 1 tsp vanilla extract. This wouldn't change the texture of the cupcakes -- so even if you didn't add vanilla bean your cake should be light, fluffy and moist.
