Gluten Free Cakes & Cupcakes

It's no secret that cakes make me happiest to bake. These gluten free cakes and cupcakes will suit every mood, time, and occasion. You'll find a wide variety of recipes here, from a festive gluten-free birthday cake to a gluten free perfect chocolate layer cake. Choose from rustic options like this gluten free rhubarb cake or a gluten free lemon curd cake that's swirled with homemade lemon curd and oat crumble. And don't forget the cupcakes!

It's hard to choose a few favorites, but I'll admit it - I do make quite a few of these recipes over and over! My top four cakes are:

• Oat Flour Chocolate Cake - this is IT, the ultimate chocolate cake recipe that just happens to be gluten free. Tender, moist, laced with strong coffee, and utterly irresistible, this is the gold standard of gluten free chocolate cakes.
• Gluten Free Butter Cake - this utterly reliable cake is wonderful on its own, topped with any frosting you can think of, or doubled and made into a layer cake.
• Gluten Free Stout Cake - the secret ingredient in this sumptuous cake is gluten free stout, and it makes an incredible cake. My take on Nigella Lawson's Guinness Chocolate Cake, you'll finish it with a tangy cap of cream cheese icing.
• Gluten Free Raspberry Almond Cake - this tender cake is studded with juicy raspberries and topped with almonds for a bit of crunch.
