Best Recipe for Gluten-Free Angel Food Cake

Question

Can you recommend or post a recipe for a gluten free angel food cake? I have tried one using rice flour and although it bakes nicely once you remove it from the tube pan it falls or collapses horribly.

Hi Rashawnda - Most commercial gluten-free flour mixes, include rice flour \and\ starch - usually either tapioca, potato, or corn starch to mimic the starch and protein in wheat flour. I'd recommend this recipe by Stella Parks - she's a cookbook author (her book, Bravetart, is fantastic) and recipe developer over at Serious Eats. Her recipe calls for a specific combo of flours and starches to achieve the perfect angel food cake - she even argues it's better than one made with wheat flour. She explains everything really well in the link I've included. Good luck and happy baking! Best, Lynn C.
