GLUTEN FREE CORN CAKE RECIPE
I can’t even count how many times I’ve been asked for my Corn Cake Recipe, everyone who tries it completly falls in love with the soft texture and the rich flavor of this cake. So I’ve finally decided to share it with you. This recipe is simple, cozy, easy to make and honestly one of those cakes that you cannot stop eating. sligthly sweet, but super soft, and perfect with coffee or tea.
This corn cake recipe is soft, simple and naturally gluten free because it’s made with fine corn flour instead of regular wheat flour. I always use Pan Corn Flour, this is the classic Venezuelan corn flour used for arepas, empanadas, hallacas, and more, but also works beautifully for cakes, because of it’s fine texture. This flour is a good source of vitamin B, magnesium, fibers and plant based nutrients. Low in fat and no cholesterol, perfect for a lighter baking option.
