As a segue to my previous post on finding allergy-free substitutes for baking ingredients here's a recipe for a Gluten-Free Vanilla Cake, shared by Kate Speach of Boston. This uses potato flour and corn starch instead of wheat flour, and is thus suitable for those with celiac disease or wheat allergies but not for those with milk and egg allergies.

Here is the list of ingredients:

2/3 cup corn starch
2/3 cup potato starch
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon guar gum
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon anise extract
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
2/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons oil

Click here for the instructions, including a video demo. It looks pretty easy to make. You may choose to top it with icing, embellish with fruits or jam, or use this as a basic recipe to which you could add other ingredients... like chocolate!

Thanks for the recipe. I want to pass it along to a good friend of mine that has a severe allergy to gluten full foods. It gives him a rash on his head that makes his hair fall out.
