What is the best gluten-free flour blend to use for loaf cake?

A blend specifically designed for baking, containing xanthan gum, is usually best. Look for blends with a mix of rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch for optimal texture.

How do I prevent my gluten-free loaf cake from being dry?

Using enough moisture (like oil, yogurt, or applesauce) and not overbaking is key. Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.

Can other flours, like almond flour, be substituted in a gluten-free loaf cake?

Yes, but it will alter the texture. Almond flour is denser and can create a more crumbly cake. You may need to adjust the liquid content in the recipe.

How long does gluten free loaf cake stay fresh?

Gluten-free loaf cake is best consumed within 2-3 days. Keep it stored in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also refrigerate it to extend its shelf life.
