Notes

Gluten free desserts can sometimes have a funky grain like taste. This has none of that nonsense. Just pure, simple deliciousness.

Bob's Red Mill is one of my favorite go to's for GF flours. This recipe is actually a redo of a old recipe I found on their website which I tweaked to suit my taste. I'm pretty happy with how moist and fluffy it came out.
