Ingredient Notes:

Gluten Free Flour Blend - I used King Arthur's Gluten Free Blend for this recipe, but Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Blend works well too.
Butter - Use unsalted butter.
Eggs - Size large.
Non-Dairy Milk - This recipe can use any non-dairy or regular milk.
Brown Sugar - Light or dark. Be sure to check that your brown sugar is gluten free.
Spices - Ensure your spices are gluten free. You will need ground cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Molasses - Regular or blackstrap molasses is okay to use.
Apple Sauce - Use unsweetened.
Baking powder and soda - I recommend aluminum-free baking powder

This bundt cake is great as is, or you can make some easy substitutions to make it more allergy-friendly.

Modifications For Food Allergies:

To make this gingerbread bundt cake dairy-free, substitute coconut oil for the butter, and use a dairy-free cream cheese like Kite Hill for the frosting.
To make this cake refined sugar-free, substitute coconut sugar for brown sugar.

Are you ready to make this gluten free gingerbread cake recipe for yourself? You are going to love it!!

Recipe Step-By-Step Directions:

Step 1: Add your wet ingredients and spices to a large stand mixer bowl. I haven't used my mixer in a long time, but I really do love it for whipping up cake batter.

Mix on low, then gradually increase the speed to medium.

Step 2: Slowly add in the gluten free flour, half a cup at a time, until all of the flour is blended in. You can see the cake batter consistency in this picture.

Step 3: Pour the gingerbread cake batter into a greased bundt pan. I used coconut oil to grease the pan.

Step 4: Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes until done. The actual baking time will vary depending on the size and depth of your bundt pan.
