Today, I will share with you the recipe for a delicious Gluten-free Vanilla Cake, perfect to have at breakfast or tea time.
I love to have a sweet treat together with a cup of hot tea in the afternoon. However, following the Low Fodmap diet doesn’t make it easy.
I can’t simply open a box of cookies to dip in my tea. So I am always looking for new Low Fodmap recipes for cakes and cookies and this Gluten-free Vanilla Cake is a real gem. It is gluten-free, but it is also Low Fodmap and lactose-free. So it is a total win.
It is also very easy to make and so soft and fluffy! I love a simple vanilla cake with just a dusting of icing sugar. So comforting. It reminds me of when I was a child.
So, what are you waiting for? Run into the kitchen and start baking! We all need a sweet treat every now and then, especially now.
